Spanish Word Forms and Lemmas Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset contains Spanish word forms paired with their corresponding lemmas (original forms), extracted from Wiktionary. It provides a comprehensive mapping of inflected Spanish words to their base forms, making it valuable for morphological analysis, lemmatization tasks, and Spanish NLP applications.

Dataset Summary

• Language: Spanish (es)
• Task: Lemmatization, Morphological Analysis
• Source: Wiktionary
• Size: ~760K word form pairs
• Format: CSV with two columns: word (inflected form) and original_form (lemma)

Supported Tasks

• Lemmatization: Map inflected words to their base forms
• Morphological Analysis: Study Spanish word inflection patterns
• Text Preprocessing: Normalize Spanish text for NLP pipelines
• Language Model Training: Pre-training data for Spanish morphology understanding

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

• word: An inflected Spanish word form
• original_form: The corresponding lemma or base form

Example:

{
  "word": "adoquinás",
  "original_form": "adoquinar"
}

Data Fields

• word (string): The inflected or conjugated form of a Spanish word
• original_form (string): The lemma or dictionary form of the word

Dataset Creation

Source Data

This dataset was extracted from Wiktionary, specifically focusing on Spanish language entries. Wiktionary is a collaborative, multilingual dictionary project that provides comprehensive morphological information for words across many languages.

Data Collection Process

The data was systematically extracted from Wiktionary's Spanish language entries, capturing the relationships between inflected word forms and their corresponding lemmas. This includes:

• Verb conjugations (all tenses, moods, and persons)
• Noun and adjective inflections (gender and number variations)
• Diminutives, augmentatives, and other morphological variations

Data Quality

• The dataset provides high-quality mappings based on Wiktionary's editorial standards
• Each word form is mapped to its appropriate lemma
• Covers a wide range of Spanish morphological patterns

Uses

Direct Use

This dataset can be directly used for:

• Training lemmatization models for Spanish
• Building morphological analyzers
• Creating Spanish text preprocessing pipelines
• Studying Spanish morphological patterns

Downstream Tasks

• Named Entity Recognition: Improve NER by normalizing word forms
• Information Retrieval: Enhance search by matching different word forms
• Machine Translation: Better handling of Spanish morphology
• Text Classification: Normalize features for better classification performance

Considerations for Use

Social Impact of Dataset

This dataset supports the development of Spanish NLP tools, which can:

• Improve accessibility of Spanish-language technology
• Support educational applications for Spanish learners
• Enable better processing of Spanish text in various domains

Limitations

• Limited to words present in Wiktionary (may not include very recent terms or highly specialized vocabulary)
• Focuses on standard Spanish forms (may not capture all dialectal variations)
• Does not include semantic information beyond morphological relationships
