Description

LAMP is a freeware profiling tool that analyses the lexical and morphological content of a text. For researchers, LAMP provides estimates of the vocabulary and affix knowledge required for text comprehension and data on the morphological content of texts. For pedagogy, LAMP identifies teachable affixes and affixed forms based on user defined criteria. Analyses are provided at the lemma, flemma, and word family levels. Applications of the tool for research and pedagogy will be discussed.
