Subject: Re: [lexidma] Module-by-module proposal
I would say so... but what do others think here?2/ I am not sure about allowing PartOfSpeech, Pronunciation and InflectedForm as children of Sense. Having senses of an entry with different part-of-speech values is something that some models explicitly avoid, we would also need to figure out how this inherits from the Entry's PartOfSpeech. I don't think we should have Pronunciation and InflectedForm at all, as senses with different pronunciations or inflections are homographs and we really should insist that homographs are distinct at the Entry level.
I am not sure of it either, it does smell of bad practice: sloppy separation between form and function. We could go the radical route and prohibit it altogether. On the other hand it is what lexicographers sometimes want to do. This always makes me think of the Czech word "jeÅÃb" 'crane which has two different plurals depending on whether it's the animal or the machine: I don't think lexicographers would welcome the idea of having to create two separate entries for these. This is not an exception, I could probably dig out other examples from oher languages. So the question is: do we want to force lexicographers to re-analyze all sense-specific morphosyntax as homonmy?
3/ There seems to be no way to record properties of entries such as noun gender in the model.
That's what the Label object type would be for, in my proposal.
Okay... so label is very overloaded in terms of what it represents. My feeling is I would prefer some more specific categories for common annotations.
4/ Pronunciation probably needs a scheme and a variety property. See this recent paper (Sec 3.3) for a discussion of this: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2021.gwc-1.11.pdf
For scheme, probably, yes. For variety, if by that you mean things like 'British'Â versus 'American', I enviaged that, again, the Label object type would do that.
