    Clitic → Morpheme

    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 clitic can have a grammatical function and depend on a host for its prosodic form. Morpheme analysis helps describe its function. The nature of its attachment is a separate question.

    Clitic ↔ Affix

    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
    Clitics depend on a prosodic host, but their syntactic distribution can differ from that of affixes. Sound form alone cannot establish whether an element is an affix or a clitic.

  3. R-518 · Productive tension · undirected

    Affix ↔ Clitic

    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
    An affix combines with a base within a word. A clitic also needs a phonological host, but its position and scope can be determined by syntax. What can serve as the host and which unit the element applies to help distinguish the two kinds of attachment.
