The morphogenetic process whereby the foregut region specified to become the lung forms the initial left and right buds. The pattern specification process by which an axis or axes is subdivided in space along the foregut to define an area or volume in which specific patterns of cell differentiation will take place. The regionalization process by which the identity of an organ primordium is specified. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized. The process by which a specific region of the foregut is delineated into the area in which the lung will develop. The close range interaction of two or more cells or tissues that causes the cells of the foregut to change their fates and specify the development of the lung. Any process that mediates the transfer of information from a mesenchymal cell to an endodermal cell in the foregut and contributes to the formation of the lung bud. Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of organ formation. Organ formation is the process pertaining to the initial formation of an organ from unspecified parts. The process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure, such as inductive events, and ends when the structural rudiment of the organ is recognizable, such as a condensation of mesenchymal cells into the organ rudiment. The interaction of two or more cells or tissues that causes them to change their fates and specify the development of an organ. Signaling at short range between cells or tissues of different ancestry and developmental potential that results in one cell or tissue effecting a developmental change in the other.
