Begrundelse

[edit]

Words - or rather their senses - may be used in certain contexts/situations. It is unclear whether we should use existing properties: has characteristic (P1552), instance of (P31) and part of (P361) have been suggested. It might be better to have a dedicated property as the one suggested here.

For the English label I have suggested "language use", but there might be a better label.

Instances of stylistic device (Q182545) may also be relevant for allowed values. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 18:32, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
