  1. R-131 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Distinctive feature → 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
    A minimal pair shows that a difference in sound can distinguish words. An analysis in terms of distinctive features then asks what property or combination of properties accounts for the contrast.

    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.

    Minimal pair → Phoneme

    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 minimal pair gives evidence that a sound contrast distinguishes words. Identifying the phonemes also calls for examining how the sounds pattern elsewhere in the language.

  4. R-319 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Minimal pair → Mondegreen

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Minimal pairs isolate a contrast between sounds. A mondegreen results when a sequence is misheard and given a different interpretation. The comparison brings together a way of testing contrasts and an instance of mishearing.

    Phoneme → 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
    Phonemes distinguish meanings in a language’s sound system. A minimal pair shows that changing one sound can distinguish two otherwise matching forms.

    Voicing → 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
    A minimal pair can test whether a voicing difference distinguishes meanings. The evidence must come from the particular language.
