[Corpora-List] Look for a lemma list

[Hunter, Duncan]

While we're on the subject of lemma lists, does anybody know of a 'lemma' list that extends the definition of word family to include same-root words?
 
One, for example that would include with 'communicate' not just with 'communicates', 'communicated', 'communicating' but also 'communication', 'communicative', etc?
 
I have to say that I used Mr Someya's lemma list without difficulties-perhaps not the list itself causing the problems? Just a suggestion, I'm not actually a 'white heat of technology' person myself...

Dear all, 

 

Sorry to take your time. 

 

I am looking for an English lemma list, which can provide the transformation between the basic form and the inflection form or the derivation form. 

Here are some examples: 

abacus -> abacuses
abandon -> abandons,abandoning,abandoned
abase -> abases,abasing,abased
abate -> abates,abating,abated
abbess -> abbesses

..............

 

I have downloaded a similar list complied by Yasumasa Someya, but apply this list in my corpus, I can't get a satisfactory lemmatised cover rate for some reasons. 

Now I hope to find some other lemma lists, and if they include both American spelling and British spelling, that would be the best. 

 

If anyone has the lemma list resources, would you please sent them to me or just give me a website link? 

 

Thank you.
