  1. R-2431 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Topic projection → Topicalization

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    In the linked profile, topicalisation concerns occupation of the German prefield. Topic projection may concern a topic interpretation or a TopP posited within a particular model. Prefield position, topic status and scope must be assessed separately.

  2. R-2432 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Topic projection → Focus

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Topic and focus concern different dimensions of information structure. Projection requires identifying the domain that receives an interpretation; prominence alone establishes neither topic status nor a syntactic TopP.

  3. R-2433 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Topic projection → Left-hand anticipation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Left dislocation may place an expression before a clause and resume it within the clause. A topic interpretation or a longer-range discourse expectation must be shown from construction and context; neither is automatically identical to a TopP.
    Evidence basis
    Profilfeld: Verwandte Begriffe/Querverweise (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  4. R-2434 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Topic projection → Information structure

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Information structure provides distinctions for describing topic status and focus. Projection additionally requires a specification of its sense: interpretive domain, model-dependent structure, or an explicitly extended discourse application.
