    Apostrophe ↔ Personification

    Meaning of the relation type
    Zwei Begriffe bilden eine redaktionell bestätigte produktive Spannung. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Apostrophe addresses someone absent or turns to something abstract or nonhuman. Personification attributes human qualities. An address can suggest personhood without developing a full personification.

  2. R-353 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Personification → Metaphor

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Personification presents something non-human as having human qualities. This makes it open to analysis as a metaphor, with the particular feature that it treats what it describes as a person or human-like agent.
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  3. R-354 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Personification → Allegory

    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 personification can turn something abstract into a character who acts within an allegory. A single such figure need not produce a sustained allegorical pattern.
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  4. R-514 · Productive tension · undirected

    Personification ↔ Apostrophe

    Meaning of the relation type
    Zwei Begriffe bilden eine redaktionell bestätigte produktive Spannung. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Personification gives a non-human entity human qualities. Apostrophe redirects the address. Speaking to the wind changes the addressee. If the speaker also attributes a will or purpose to the wind, the passage can be examined for personification as well.
