creates lexeme type

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Lexemes

   Done: creates lexeme type (P5923) (Talk and documentation)

Description	morpheme creates this type of lexeme
Data type	Item
Domain	sense (on a derivational morpheme)
Example 1	-adit/-addat (L22786) → frequentative verb (Q56677005)
Example 2	-a/-at (L22784) → result noun (Q56676985), instrument noun (Q56677023)
Example 3	-n/-eapmi (L22785) → action noun (Q56676995)
Example 4	-hit/-ahttit (L22787) → causative verb (Q56677011)
Planned use	To indicate, for each sense of a morpheme, what kind of thing it creates.

Motivation

Indicating what is produced when a morpheme is attached is clearly a useful thing to indicate. It is given to a sense rather than a lexeme, because a single morpheme could produce multiple different things, each one having its own sense, like on -a/-at (L22784).

This could possibly be paired with another property like "attached to" to indicate what type of lexeme it's derived from. If you think this is the case, please propose such a property or say that you think I should propose it. —Rua (mew) 13:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Comment I think this makes sense. However, the proposed label is too short to be just for this specific purpose, "creates" could refer to anything. Would "creates lexical subcategory" or something like that be a suitable label? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

  I agree, but I don't know if subcategory is accurate. Someone may want to use just the basic verb (Q24905) as the value and that should be allowed too. The main thing is that can be determined what part of speech is created, and if so, what particular kind if there happens to be an item/term describing it. —Rua (mew) 19:02, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment good idea. Maybe "creates lexeme type" as label could do. --- Jura 10:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

  Ok, I've gone with that. —Rua (mew) 10:34, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

  Perhaps "category" would be better since we have "Lexical category" not "Lexical type" in lexemes definition. KaMan (talk) 10:46, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

  Definitely not, as a I doubt that any of the above sample values actually are. --- Jura 10:53, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

  Above samples are just subclasses of verb and noun which is lexical category we use. KaMan (talk) 10:57, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

  Yeah, but if possible the values should be more specific than the ones we use in the "lexical category" field. We already have problems with people confusing the interface terminology with linguistic concepts. --- Jura 10:59, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
