### Dataset Summary

The Lefff, currently in its 3.5 version, is one of the main morphological and syntactic lexicons for French. This Hugging Face dataset provides an easy access to the extensional morphological information in the Lefff, i.e. to the 4-uples (form, lemma, category, morphosyntactic features) and to the amalgams (e.g. _aux_ = _à_ + _les_) it contains. Category and morphosyntactic features are provided both in the original Lefff format and following the UniMorph guidelines.
