variety of sense

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Lexemes

   Withdrawn

Description	dialect, variety or register of language that the sense applies to
Data type	Item
Domain	sense, and lexeme if it is about the entire lexeme
Allowed values	variant of language
Example 1	brother (L3627-S2) → African American Vernacular English (Q8002)
Example 2	rambo (L1003569) → Multicultural London English (Q6934635)
Example 3	আফতাব (L309927-S1) → Dobhashi (Q85757233)

This may be a widening of variety of lexeme, form or sense (P7481) instead of a new property.

Using location of sense usage (P6084) is awkward that more than one dialect can be used in same locations, and some variants are not tied with a specific region. Since this property may be related to senses, it is not warranted to create separate lexemes for African American Vernacular English (Q8002) either. GZWDer (talk) 11:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Support thanks for finally adding a motivation to a property proposal. Mahir256 (talk) 13:22, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
  • However we need to discuss whether we should reuse variety of lexeme, form or sense (P7481) for this.--GZWDer (talk) 14:14, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Why would this be called “variety of sense” if it isn’t even necessarily to be used on senses? To me this suggests that this is a ‘general’ variety property (i.e., a property that specifies something more fine-grained than purl:language as used by default on the lexeme level). So a widening of variety of lexeme, form or sense (P7481) would seem to make more sense. ―BlaueBlüte (talk) 05:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
