The English Department at the College of Education for Humanities at the University of Basra organized a discussion session entitled (Is it a lemma or a word), and their concepts.
The session aimed to introduce the two concepts and the attempts made by researchers to define the concept of the word, and the grammatical and semantic characteristics that govern the process of organizing the coupling of structures with their meanings.
The session, presented by Dr. Balqis Issa, addressed the concepts of lemma and word and the numerous attempts made by researchers in the fields of philosophy of language and its sciences, which extended for hundreds of years to define the concept of (the word), and they were unable to reach an accurate and comprehensive definition of this concept, and the couplings that provide the essential cognitive and perceptual systems with extremely complex instructions that produce what is called the word
