The Linguistic Phenomena Ontology is an Ontolex-lemon extension devoted to represent linguistic phenomena. We denote as linguistic phenomena those kinds of phenomena which cause modifications of language expressions. In general, a linguistic phenomenon occurs by turning a parent expression into a target expression in the language under consideration, where the parent expression may have been inherited from the parent language, or it may have been borrowed from a foreign language. In addition, the ontology provides the regex and replacement properties to describe a linguistic phenomenon operatioanally in a machine-actionable way.
