  1. R-193 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Gemination → Minimal pair

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Gemination can distinguish words in languages that contrast short and long consonants. A minimal pair provides evidence for that function. A longer pronunciation in isolation does not establish a contrast.

  2. R-194 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Gemination → Syllable

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Geminates raise a question about how a long consonant relates to the syllables on either side of it. Syllable analysis helps account for its timing and structural position, which can vary across languages and analyses.

  3. R-504 · Productive tension · undirected

    Gemination ↔ Reduplication

    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
    Gemination concerns consonant length or phonological status. Reduplication copies all or part of a base. In a form with a long consonant, we can ask separately whether identifiable material has been copied and whether length marks a sound contrast.

  4. R-517 · Productive tension · undirected

    Reduplication ↔ Gemination

    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
    In reduplication, we can identify which part of the base recurs and what the repetition does. If a long consonant results, its phonological role is a separate question. The copying operation and its possible effect on the sound pattern can thus be analysed separately.

  7. R-1651 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Epizeuxis → Gemination

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Epizeuxis immediately repeats linguistic units; phonological gemination concerns consonant duration or a consonant-length contrast. The cross-reference compares units of analysis rather than two names for one procedure.
