  1. R-36 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Ambiguity → Equivocation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Equivocation shifts between senses of an expression in an argument. Ambiguity makes that shift possible. On its own, it implies neither deception nor faulty reasoning.

  2. R-64 · Distinction · directed

    Equivocation → Ambiguity

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Ambiguity leaves more than one interpretation open. Equivocation shifts the meaning of a term within an argument while treating it as constant. The error lies in the inference drawn across that shift.

  3. R-65 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Equivocation → Homonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homonyms have the same pronunciation or spelling but different meanings. Equivocation can exploit an unnoticed switch between those meanings in an argument. The availability of homonyms alone entails no fallacy.
    Evidence basis
    Importierter Querverweis über Fachgrenzen (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  4. R-66 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Equivocation → Polysemy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An argument can shift unnoticed between related senses of a polysemous expression. Equivocation concerns what the argument infers across that shift, distinct from the expression’s range of senses.
    Evidence basis
    Importierter Querverweis über Fachgrenzen (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  5. R-359 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Petitio principii → Equivocation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Petitio principii assumes the conclusion in its reasoning. Equivocation shifts unnoticed between meanings of an expression. Both can appear persuasive, but each requires a different diagnosis.
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

    Tu quoque argument → Equivocation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Tu quoque points to alleged inconsistency in a person’s conduct. Equivocation changes the sense of an expression. The comparison separates two ways an argument can go wrong.
