    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
    Litotes can lend an utterance ironic distance by making an assessment sound understated. It can also express a sincere judgement. The wording and situation together help distinguish those uses.

    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.

    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 use a restrained formulation that negates a contrary to convey a stronger judgement. Context is needed to tell whether the restraint also expresses irony.
