    Lexical gap → Untranslatability

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A lexical gap can make it difficult to find a single-word equivalent. A paraphrase may still convey the intended sense. The question of untranslatability is what, if anything, remains difficult to carry across, such as tone or a pattern of use.

    Lexical gap → Neologism

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A neologism can give speakers a concise way to name something for which they perceive a lexical gap. It may name something they already describe in other ways. Whether the new word catches on is a separate question.
