    Hyperbole → Litotes

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Hyperbel verstärkt, Litotes arbeitet mit einer verneinten Gegenform. Beide können eine Aussage indirekt gewichten, erzeugen ihre Wirkung jedoch durch unterschiedliche sprachliche Operationen. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

    Irony → Litotes

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Litotes kann durch indirekte Untertreibung eine ironische Distanz erzeugen. Die Figur ist aber auch ernsthaft verwendbar; ihre Form allein beweist keine Ironie. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

    Litotes → Hyperbole

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Litotes gewichtet eine Aussage über die Verneinung einer Gegenform, Hyperbel durch Übersteigerung. Die Nachbarschaft macht verschiedene Abweichungen von direkter, maßvoller Formulierung vergleichbar. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  4. R-302 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Litotes → Irony

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Litotes kann eine wörtlich zurückhaltende Form mit einer stärkeren gemeinten Bewertung verbinden. Eine ironische Haltung ist dabei möglich, muss aber durch den Gebrauchskontext belegt werden. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
