This edition applies the adopted changes to navigation. Recorded review status and evidence come from the earlier documentation. German wording is marked where no separate English rationale is available. Independent specialist review of the Chinese edition remains open.

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Soft sign → Diacritic

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Russian ь is an independent letter whose functions vary with the word form. The link to diacritics compares reading cues without classifying it as a mark attached to another letter.
