    Extraposition → Topicalization

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text

    Why connected?
    English editorial text

    Focus ↔ Topicalization

    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
    Focus makes information prominent or sets it in contrast. Here topicalisation refers to placing a constituent in the initial field of a German declarative clause. Context and accent help establish whether that constituent takes up the discourse topic or serves as the focus.
