    Prosody → Intonation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Intonation concerns the pattern of pitch over a stretch of speech. Prosody places that pattern alongside other aspects of spoken form, including accent, duration and rhythmic grouping.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Prosodic prominence can mark the focus of an utterance. How listeners interpret that cue depends on the language and on which alternatives the context makes relevant.

    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An unexpected way of delivering a remark can encourage an ironic reading. Its sound is one clue alongside the words and the situation. The same pattern can have other uses.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Prototype semantics and family resemblance both explain category membership beyond a single checklist of properties. Prototype semantics appeals to typical members, while family resemblance draws on overlapping similarities.

    Reanalysis changes how a structure is interpreted. Grammaticalisation concerns the wider development of grammatical functions. Reanalysis can contribute to that development.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Rebracketing changes where speakers take the boundaries between constituents to be. This is one kind of reanalysis. Speakers can also reinterpret a construction’s grammatical structure without moving those boundaries.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Folk etymology can lead speakers to reanalyse an unfamiliar form in terms of familiar elements. Reanalysis is the broader structural process.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Rebracketing can make an unfamiliar form look familiar by redrawing its internal boundaries. Folk etymology can supply a motivation. The particular history of the reanalysis still needs evidence.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Both rebracketing and mondegreens can involve a change in where boundaries are perceived. Rebracketing concerns structural analysis, while a mondegreen is a mishearing. A single mishearing cannot establish a change in the language.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Reduplication can create new lexical forms and thereby serve a derivational function. The status of a particular use depends on its function in the language.

    Register varies primarily with the situation of use, while a sociolect is associated primarily with a social group. Both can shape the same utterance. Speakers from different groups can also use a similar register in similar circumstances.
