  1. R-406 · Distinction · directed

    Selection Restriction → Valency

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Valency determines the complement positions available to an expression. Selection restrictions concern what kinds of meaning are compatible with the position. The number and form of positions are distinct from semantic compatibility.

  2. R-407 · Productive tension · undirected

    Selection Restriction ↔ Metaphor

    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
    A metaphor can unsettle ordinary expectations about what can be combined with an expression. That can prompt a new interpretation. The comparison separates established selection restrictions from what an individual metaphor asks readers to infer.

  3. R-490 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Valency → Selection Restriction

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Valency concerns the complement positions opened by an expression. Selection restrictions concern the meanings compatible with those positions. The distinction separates syntactic structure from semantic fit.
    Evidence basis
    Importierter Querverweis über Fachgrenzen (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Recorded review status

  4. R-526 · Productive tension · undirected

    Metaphor ↔ Selection Restriction

    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
    Selection restrictions describe the kinds of meaning an expression normally expects in its complements. Metaphorical use can shift that expectation. The context then has to support a reading that makes sense of the initially unusual combination.
    Evidence basis
    ATLAS_094: bestätigte Spannungsachse (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Recorded review status
    ATLAS_109 bestätigt (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
