title: Lemmatizer
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/lemmatizer.py
new: 3
teaser: 'Pipeline component for lemmatization'
api_string_name: lemmatizer
api_trainable: false
---
Component for assigning base forms to tokens using rules based on part-of-speech
tags, or lookup tables. Different [`Language`](/api/language) subclasses can
implement their own lemmatizer components via
[language-specific factories](/usage/processing-pipelines#factories-language).
The default data used is provided by the
[`spacy-lookups-data`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-lookups-data)
extension package.
For a trainable lemmatizer, see [`EditTreeLemmatizer`](/api/edittreelemmatizer).
<Infobox variant="warning" title="New in v3.0">
As of v3.0, the `Lemmatizer` is a **standalone pipeline component** that can be
added to your pipeline, and not a hidden part of the vocab that runs behind the
scenes. This makes it easier to customize how lemmas should be assigned in your
pipeline.
If the lemmatization mode is set to `"rule"`, which requires coarse-grained POS
(`Token.pos`) to be assigned, make sure a [`Tagger`](/api/tagger),
[`Morphologizer`](/api/morphologizer) or another component assigning POS is
available in the pipeline and runs _before_ the lemmatizer.
</Infobox>
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Lemmas generated by rules or predicted will be saved to `Token.lemma`.
| Location | Value |
| -------------- | ------------------------- |
| `Token.lemma` | The lemma (hash). ~~int~~ |
| `Token.lemma_` | The lemma. ~~str~~ |
## Config and implementation
The default config is defined by the pipeline component factory and describes
how the component should be configured. You can override its settings via the
`config` argument on [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe) or in your
[`config.cfg` for training](/usage/training#config). For examples of the lookups
data format used by the lookup and rule-based lemmatizers, see
[`spacy-lookups-data`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-lookups-data).
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> config = {"mode": "rule"}
> nlp.add_pipe("lemmatizer", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `mode` | The lemmatizer mode, e.g. `"lookup"` or `"rule"`. Defaults to `lookup` if no language-specific lemmatizer is available (see the following table). ~~str~~ |
| `overwrite` | Whether to overwrite existing lemmas. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
| `model` | **Not yet implemented:** the model to use. ~~Model~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `scorer` | The scoring method. Defaults to [`Scorer.score_token_attr`](/api/scorer#score_token_attr) for the attribute `"lemma"`. ~~Optional[Callable]~~ |
Many languages specify a default lemmatizer mode other than `lookup` if a better
lemmatizer is available. The lemmatizer modes `rule` and `pos_lookup` require
[`token.pos`](/api/token) from a previous pipeline component (see example
pipeline configurations in the
[pretrained pipeline design details](/models#design-cnn)) or rely on third-party
libraries (`pymorphy3`).
| Language | Default Mode |
| -------- | ------------ |
| `bn` | `rule` |
| `ca` | `pos_lookup` |
| `el` | `rule` |
| `en` | `rule` |
| `es` | `rule` |
| `fa` | `rule` |
| `fr` | `rule` |
| `it` | `pos_lookup` |
| `mk` | `rule` |
| `nb` | `rule` |
| `nl` | `rule` |
| `pl` | `pos_lookup` |
| `ru` | `pymorphy3` |
| `sv` | `rule` |
| `uk` | `pymorphy3` |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/lemmatizer.py
```
## Lemmatizer.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> # Construction via add_pipe with default model
> lemmatizer = nlp.add_pipe("lemmatizer")
>
> # Construction via add_pipe with custom settings
> config = {"mode": "rule", "overwrite": True}
> lemmatizer = nlp.add_pipe("lemmatizer", config=config)
> ```
Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
[`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe).
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ |
| `model` | **Not yet implemented:** The model to use. ~~Model~~ |

| mode | The lemmatizer mode, e.g. `"lookup"` or `"rule"`. Defaults to `"lookup"`. ~~str~~ |
| overwrite | Whether to overwrite existing lemmas. ~~bool~~ |
## Lemmatizer.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place, and returned.
This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text
and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> lemmatizer = nlp.add_pipe("lemmatizer")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = lemmatizer(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## Lemmatizer.pipe {#pipe tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood
when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are
applied to the `Doc` in order.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> lemmatizer = nlp.add_pipe("lemmatizer")
> for doc in lemmatizer.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `stream` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
## Lemmatizer.initialize {#initialize tag="method"}
Initialize the lemmatizer and load any data resources. This method is typically
called by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize) and lets you
customize arguments it receives via the
[`[initialize.components]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block in the
config. The loading only happens during initialization, typically before
training. At runtime, all data is loaded from disk.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> lemmatizer = nlp.add_pipe("lemmatizer")
> lemmatizer.initialize(lookups=lookups)
> ```
>
> ```ini
> ### config.cfg
> [initialize.components.lemmatizer]
>
> [initialize.components.lemmatizer.lookups]
> @misc = "load_my_lookups.v1"
> ```

During serialization, spaCy will export several data fields used to restore
different aspects of the object. If needed, you can exclude them from
serialization by passing in the string names via the `exclude` argument.
