Relationship navigator

Connect concepts, recognize distinctions and examine why a connection is recorded.

3,439 active connections1,393 concepts3,439 with an individual rationale64 rationales revised in all three languages

This edition applies the adopted changes to navigation. Recorded review status and evidence come from the earlier documentation. German wording is marked where no separate English rationale is available. Independent specialist review of the Chinese edition remains open.

Find a connecting route between two concepts
How are two concepts connected?

Up to four existing relations; directed connections are followed only in their recorded direction. Every step shows its rationale and documented editorial treatment.

  1. R-130 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Distinctive feature → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Distinktive Merkmale zerlegen phonologische Kontraste in analysierbare Eigenschaften. Ein Phonem wird innerhalb eines Sprachsystems über solche unterscheidenden Funktionen beschrieben, nicht allein über eine konkrete Aussprache. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  2. R-131 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Distinctive feature → Minimal pair

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Ein Minimalpaar zeigt, dass ein Lautunterschied Bedeutungen unterscheiden kann. Die Merkmalsanalyse untersucht anschließend, welche Eigenschaft diesen Kontrast trägt. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  3. R-132 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Distinctive feature → Affricate

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Affrikaten stellen Fragen nach ihrer phonologischen Merkmalsstruktur und Einheitlichkeit. Distinktive Merkmale helfen, sie von anderen Segmenttypen abzugrenzen; ihre konkrete Analyse bleibt sprach- und theorieabhängig. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Evidence basis

  4. R-261 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Component Analysis → Distinctive feature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Komponentialanalyse und distinktive Merkmale zerlegen Gegenstände in unterscheidende Eigenschaften. Erstere modelliert Bedeutungen, letztere phonologische Kontraste; die methodische Analogie macht die Eigenschaften nicht gleichartig. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Evidence basis

  5. R-451 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Voicing → Distinctive feature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Stimmhaftigkeit kann als distinktives Merkmal eines Sprachsystems fungieren. Ihre phonetische Realisierung ist von der Frage zu trennen, welche Kontraste sie im jeweiligen System tatsächlich unterscheidet. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Evidence basis
