[Question] How to associate pronunciation to senses/synsets/definitions

[sevagh]

Hello - using this library (or the cmudict directly, same information), we can get multiple pronunciations. Some of these correspond to a different part of speech (e.g. PRO-ject noun vs. pro-JECT verb). Some are homographs with the same part of speech (e.g. bow).

Here's an example of bow:

>>> import pronouncing
>>> pronouncing.phones_for_word('bow')
['B AW1', 'B OW1']
>>>
>>> from nltk.corpus import wordnet
>>> [ss.definition() for ss in wordnet.synsets('bow')[:2]]
['a knot with two loops and loose ends; used to tie shoelaces', 'a slightly curved piece of resilient wood with taut horsehair strands; used in playing certain stringed instruments']

Does anybody have suggestions for how I could create relations from the pronunciations to the senses/synsets?

One potential path I'm looking at is:

1. arpabet to IPA
2. look up definitions/senses by IPA (I don't know where, just yet)
