Hi Matteo, For DBnary, I am using ontolex:phoneticRep for both, and values are surrounds by /…/ or […] depending on the data I have to model. I think this notation is quite standard. It’s not really elegant though… Regards, Gilles, > On 1 Mar 2023, at 12:26, Pellegrini Matteo (matteo.pellegrini) <matteo.pellegrini@unicatt.it> wrote: > > Dear all, > > I write this email to ask for your advice on the possibility of using ontolex:phoneticRep for phonological – rather than strictly phonetic – transcriptions of forms. > Indeed, the name and definition of ontolex:phoneticRep suggest that it should be used for phonetic trancriptions.

However, it is possible that the transcription is phonological, rather than phonetic, strictly speaking. Would it be a problem to treat such phonological transcriptions as ontolex:phoneticRep? If so, what would your advice be on what to do? > > Thanks in advance, > > Matteo Pellegrini
