    Ablaut → Inflection

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Ablaut can distinguish forms in an inflectional paradigm, as it does in strong verbs. It is one way of marking inflection.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Inflected forms can display different allomorphs of the same morpheme. This accounts for variation within a paradigm while assigning the variants a common function.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Allomorphy accounts for variation in the forms used in inflection. It explains one aspect of the organization of an inflectional paradigm.

    Analogical levelling → Inflection

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Analogical levelling can bring irregular inflected forms into line with a more widespread pattern. The relation connects a process of language change to the grammatical forms it can reshape.

    Inflection → Morpheme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Inflection expresses grammatical differences through word forms. Morphemes help analyse how these forms express such differences. A grammatical function need not have a separately identifiable segment.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An inflectional paradigm can contain several forms of the same functional unit. Allomorphy accounts for that variation without assigning each form to a new grammatical category.

    Inflection → Derivation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Inflection produces grammatical forms of one lexeme. Derivation typically produces new lexemes. The boundary depends on the criteria used and cannot be drawn from word form alone.

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?

    Ablaut can mark a grammatical contrast through vowel alternation within an inflectional paradigm. It is one means of expressing inflection.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Inflected forms can make agreement visible when features match across expressions. Inflection supplies the forms, while agreement concerns how they are coordinated in syntax.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Lemmatisation groups inflected forms under a selected citation form. That form provides access to an inflectional paradigm whose other members may look quite different.

    Markedness → Inflection

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Markedness can describe asymmetries among forms in an inflectional paradigm. The criterion determines which form counts as marked, rather than its length or conspicuousness alone.
