    Metathesis ↔ Epenthesis

    Meaning of the relation type
    Zwei Begriffe bilden eine redaktionell bestätigte produktive Spannung. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metathesis changes the order of existing sounds. Epenthesis adds a sound. The operations differ in what they change. Their functions require a separate comparison.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metathesis changes the order of sounds. Assimilation makes one sound more like another in one or more features. Both can reshape sound patterns through different operations.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Synecdoche uses a part–whole relation in naming. Whether it is treated as a type of metonymy depends on the rhetorical classification being used.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metonymy identifies something through an associated entity. Metaphor interprets it through another domain. The comparison asks what kind of connection supports each reading.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metonymy can use real connections between entities. That makes some metonymies comparable to indexical reference, whose theoretical criteria still have to be examined.

    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 minimal pair gives evidence that a sound contrast distinguishes words. Identifying the phonemes also calls for examining how the sounds pattern elsewhere in the language.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Minimal pairs isolate a contrast between sounds. A mondegreen results when a sequence is misheard and given a different interpretation. The comparison brings together a way of testing contrasts and an instance of mishearing.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Modality and evidentiality concern the status and source of information, respectively. A linguistic form can contribute to both, so its function must be determined in context.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A modal expression can help shape a speech act such as a request. The form contributes to how the request is made, while the action also depends on the circumstances of its use.

    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 make an utterance sound tentative, emphatic or questioning. Modality helps analyse some of these meanings. The interpretation of a particular contour depends on language and context.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A mondegreen is a sequence that someone has misheard and interpreted differently. Homophony is identity of sound between forms. Mishearing can also arise from resemblance short of identity.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Ambiguity can make a mondegreen possible. Ambiguity is the availability of more than one interpretation, while a mondegreen is a particular outcome of mishearing.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Prosody can cue word boundaries, grouping and emphasis. If those cues are interpreted differently, a mondegreen can result. Other phonetic and contextual factors may also contribute.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A lexeme can contain several morphemes. A morpheme can carry meaning or grammatical function while occurring only as part of a larger form. The two terms identify different levels of analysis.
