  1. R-127 · Distinction · directed

    Discourse particle → Discourse marker

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The boundary between discourse particles and discourse markers varies across frameworks. To compare them, ask where each expression fits grammatically and what it does in the exchange.

  2. R-128 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Discourse particle → Modality

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Discourse particles can shape the stance and expectations conveyed by an utterance. Modality concerns such dimensions as possibility and validity. The role of a particle and the grammatical marking of modality require separate analysis.

  3. R-129 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Discourse particle → Implicature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Discourse particles can guide listeners towards a particular interpretation. A conversational implicature is something listeners infer beyond what is said. In analysing a particle, separate what it conventionally contributes from what listeners infer on that occasion.

  4. R-512 · Productive tension · undirected

    Discourse particle ↔ Common ground

    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 discourse particle can signal that a speaker is treating an assumption as shared or expecting a challenge. Common ground is the background the participants take for granted. The role of a particular particle depends on its use in the exchange.

  5. R-525 · Productive tension · undirected

    Common ground ↔ Discourse particle

    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
    Common ground consists of assumptions participants treat as shared. A discourse particle can cue them to retrieve an assumption, confirm it or treat it as disputed. Whether the participants actually share it is a matter for the exchange itself.
    Evidence basis

  8. R-1953 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Attitudinal shading → Discourse particle

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Modal shading can be conveyed by small items such as German ja, doch and mal. The linked discourse-particle profile is broader than the class of modal particles; the item's function in context must be identified.
