proven lexemes Explanation: don't like <assessing>. "Sich bewerten" means to have proven itself over time. As I would read it. |

assessing lexemes, concrete narration Explanation: Yup, these are both standard terms in linguistics (socio-linguistics and anthropological linguistics in particular), which I did my Ph.C. in. A "lexeme" means a word and all its inflected (morphological) forms. For instance, the German lexeme NAME includes the forms "Name," Namen," and "Namens," etc. It's a fancy-schmancy word for "word," really, but linguists like to get very precise about what a "word" really is. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-09 19:38:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It occurs to me there may be a missing \"zu\": if the writer really means \"zu bewertenden Lexemen,\" which actually makes a bit more sense given the small context sample we\'ve got here, then \"lexemes to be assessed\" is best.
