    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Free indirect discourse interweaves the narrator’s and the character’s voices. Focalisation asks whose knowledge and perceptions are available. The handling of voice and the restriction of information remain separate questions.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Focalisation limits access to knowledge and perception. Unreliable narration concerns reasons to doubt the account being given. A restricted viewpoint can still provide a reliable account.

    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Focalisation concerns the control of access to information within narrative perspective. The broader concept also covers other ways of organising a narrative around a standpoint.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Deictic expressions can mark a narrative’s spatial or temporal point of orientation. Focalisation also concerns how access to knowledge is restricted. The two analyses address different aspects of narrative orientation.

    Why connected?

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?

    Prolepsis (narrative anticipation) → Focalization

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Prolepsis can disclose something that a character does not yet know at that point in the story. Focalisation helps explain how the narrative distributes that knowledge.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Unreliable narration concerns whether the account can be trusted. Focalisation concerns limits on access to information. Limited access alone cannot establish unreliability.
