Lexeme

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
(grammar)lexeme - A minimal lexical unit of a language. Lexical analysis converts strings in a language into a list of lexemes. For a programming language these word-like pieces would include keywords, identifiers, literals and punctutation. The lexemes are then passed to the parser for syntactic analysis.
Lexeme 

a unit of the lexical level of language, of its vocabulary.

The lexeme is the same type of abstract linguistic unit as the phoneme, morpheme, syntagma, sememe, and grapheme. It represents a word in all its forms and meanings; for example, all the forms of the word iazyk, “tongue,” and the different meanings of these forms in various contexts, such as iazyk oblozhen, “coated tongue,” russkii iazyk, “Russian language,” and iazyk proizvedeniia, “language of a literary work,” are identical as representatives of one and the same lexeme iazyk.

Focusing on morphology as one of the levels of linguistic representation and grammar, corpus annotations tend to be lexeme and word-form oriented, PoS-tags for lexemes in the corpus, rather than segmentation of word-forms into morphemes and allomorphs with their particular feature annotation.

Where this has happened the extended root, in other words the root plus the extension in question as such is entered in the lexicon as a lexeme as, for instance, in the case of -apara (put on clothes) (obviously including the contactive extension -ra) which does not have a basic constituent verb stem *-apa.
