collocates and lemmas

In the following case a lemma list was used and lemma search specified, with a concordance on the word abandon:

 

lemma_list_search

with these results showing which form of the lemma was used in the Set column.

 

concordance_lemmatised_abandon

In the collocate window below, the red line in row 1 indicates that the 140 cases of ABANDON include other forms such as 78 cases of ABANDONED and 19 of ABANDONING (greyed out below).

 

collocate_lemma_abandon

The red mark by BE (row 5) shows that this row gives collocation numbers covering all forms of BE such as WAS, WERE etc. Similarly, HAVE and A are lemmatised in this screenshot.

Thus, for your search-word and its variants you can see detailed frequencies, but its collocates, though they do get lemmatised, do not show you the variant forms or any specific frequencies.
