    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A phonestheme is a recurring sound pattern associated with meaning. Sound symbolism is the wider study of associations between sound and meaning.

    English editorial text
    Phonesthemes and onomatopoeia connect sound with meaning in different ways. A recurring association can suggest meaning without imitating a sound.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Phonemes distinguish meanings in a language’s sound system. A minimal pair shows that changing one sound can distinguish two otherwise matching forms.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A phoneme is a contrastive sound unit. A morpheme is a unit of meaning or grammatical function. Comparing them shows how contrasts in sound can help distinguish functional units.

    English editorial text
    Sonority can help describe preferences for sound sequences. A sonority scale is one part of a model. The particular language’s patterns still need to be examined.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Polysemy treats the senses of one form as related. Homonymy treats them as lexically distinct. The criterion for relatedness matters, and historical evidence and present-day usage may support different analyses.

    English editorial text
    Metaphorical transfer can give an expression a related use. Polysemy concerns an established set of related senses. An isolated metaphor alone cannot establish a new sense.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Polysemy can arise through semantic change when older and newer senses coexist. Such a history requires evidence beyond the existence of several senses today.

    English editorial text
    A portmanteau morpheme realises several grammatical features in one form. The term identifies a particular relation between form and function. A word made of several identifiable parts illustrates a different arrangement.
