    Accommodation → Presupposition

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Presupposition accommodation can bring previously unshared information into the conversational background when an utterance takes it for granted. It helps explain how listeners can make sense of an utterance that assumes more than they already know.

    Accommodation → Common ground

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Accommodation can change what participants treat as common ground. The common ground is the set of assumptions treated as shared, and participants can challenge a proposed addition to it.

    Accommodation → Implicature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Both accommodation and implicature involve inference. Accommodation adjusts the background assumptions needed to interpret an utterance. Implicature is what the hearer can infer the speaker is conveying beyond what was explicitly said.

  4. R-14 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Accommodation → Audience design

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Audience design anticipates what a listener knows. Presupposition accommodation describes how the listener may subsequently take up an assumption. The comparison shows where a speaker may have assumed too much.

    Common ground → Accommodation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Through accommodation, participants can provisionally treat a new assumption as part of their common ground. This leaves open whether they actually agree with it or whether it is true.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Participants can accommodate a presupposition that was previously unshared. This is one way of adjusting the conversational background so the utterance can be interpreted.
