    Information structure → Common ground

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Speakers decide how to present information as given or new partly by anticipating what listeners already take for granted. The presentation reflects that assumption. Listeners may still have to infer or query what the speaker treats as familiar.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Interoception concerns signals from inside the body. Embodiment offers a broader framework for asking how those signals may matter for cognition and experience.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A real connection can make something an index, but it still has to be interpreted. The interpretant is the mediating effect or further sign within the triadic model. It differs from the person who interprets.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Semiosis is the process in which interpretants arise and make further interpretations possible. The interpretant has a function within that process beyond providing a dictionary equivalent.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In a triadic account, the interpretant mediates how a sign relates to its object. Other theories describe the wider process of sign formation differently, so the model should be made explicit.

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Intonation describes how pitch is organised across an utterance. It forms part of prosody, alongside patterns of duration, prominence and rhythm.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Accent gives a syllable or other unit prominence relative to its surroundings. Intonation organises pitch across a larger stretch of speech and can highlight and connect accented positions.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Intonation can convey uncertainty, emphasis or a questioning stance. Modality helps analyse some of these meanings. The same contour can have different functions across languages and contexts.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Litotes can lend an utterance ironic distance by making an assessment sound understated. It can also express a sincere judgement. The wording and situation together help distinguish those uses.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Irony often invites the hearer to infer a stance beyond the literal content. Implicature is one way to analyse this inference. Other accounts may explain other kinds of irony.

    Isotopy connects parts of a text through recurring semantic features. Metaphor brings domains of meaning together and can contribute to that coherence by a different operation.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A climax arranges elements in ascending order. An anticlimax reverses or frustrates the expected rise. Their relation concerns the direction of a sequence and what the audience expects from it.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A rhetorical climax can end in a hyperbole. The climax depends on the order of increasing force, while hyperbole depends on exaggeration. A series of proportionate statements can still build to a climax.

    English editorial text
    Parallel structures can make the parts of a climax easier to compare. Repetition supplies the pattern. The climax arises when what those parts express increases in force or importance.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A clitic can have a grammatical function and depend on a host for its prosodic form. Morpheme analysis helps describe its function. The nature of its attachment is a separate question.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Clitics depend on a prosodic host, but their syntactic distribution can differ from that of affixes. Sound form alone cannot establish whether an element is an affix or a clitic.

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In coarticulation, movements for neighbouring sounds overlap and affect how those sounds are produced. A phoneme is defined by the contrasts that matter in a language. Coarticulatory variation can occur within a single phoneme.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Coarticulation is the overlap in time of articulatory gestures. Assimilation makes features more alike. Overlap can contribute to assimilation, which can also form part of a regular phonological pattern.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A collocation is a favoured combination of words. Shared conventions help explain why speakers expect some combinations. Frequent co-occurrence in a sample can also reflect its subject matter, so frequency alone leaves the role of convention open.
