    Hyperbole → Litotes

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Hyperbole heightens a claim through exaggeration. Litotes conveys an assessment by negating its contrary. Both can guide the listener towards an evaluation by different means.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Hyperbole exaggerates, while a climax arranges elements in ascending order. A climax can contain hyperbole. Each device can also occur independently.

    Hyperbole → Irony

    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 obvious exaggeration can invite an ironic reading by making the literal claim hard to take at face value. Exaggeration can also express sincere enthusiasm or criticism. The context helps identify the speaker’s stance.

    Climax → Hyperbole

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A rhetorical climax can end in a hyperbole. The climax depends on the order of increasing force, while hyperbole depends on exaggeration. A series of proportionate statements can still build to a climax.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Litotes can give weight to a statement by negating its contrary. Hyperbole does so by exaggeration. Each departs from straightforward, moderate wording in a different way.
