  1. R-71 · Distinction · directed

    Aspiration → Voicing

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Aspiration involves audible breath after a consonant release and, in stops, often goes with a longer delay before voicing begins. Voicing concerns vibration of the vocal folds. The two properties can interact and should be distinguished.

  2. R-72 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Aspiration → Affricate

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Some languages contrast aspirated and unaspirated affricates. Affrication describes the transition from closure to friction. Aspiration is a further property of how the sound is produced.

  3. R-73 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Aspiration → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Aspiration can distinguish phonemes or occur as a predictable variant, depending on the language. The relation separates a phonetic observation from its possible role in a phonological contrast.
