    Spoonerism → Anagram

    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 spoonerism rearranges sounds in speech, while an anagram rearranges letters. The apparent similarity leaves differences in medium, rule and how the forms are produced.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A spoonerism changes a sequence in production. A mondegreen changes how a sequence is heard and interpreted. They arise at different stages of language processing.

    Language-situated lemma (Sprachlemm) → Lemma

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The Atlas uses Sprachlemm as a working term for a lemma considered in its linguistic and cultural history of use. A lemma in the lexicographic sense is a form used to organise and find an entry.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The Atlas term Sprachlemm draws attention to the history and cultural setting of a lemma. Equivalence asks which aspects can correspond in another language under the criteria chosen.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The Atlas term Sprachlemm draws attention to the context-specific history of a lemma’s meanings and uses. Untranslatability identifies possible limits on what can be conveyed in another language.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The Atlas term Sprachlemm considers a lemma in its history of use. A language game relates an expression to a practice. Their connection invites a comparison between the historical record and the practices in which the expression functions.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Family resemblance draws attention to overlapping similarities between practices. Applied to language games, it allows them to be compared without requiring all of them to share a single defining feature.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Speech-act analysis asks what people do in saying something. In one account of performativity, words can accomplish socially recognised acts when the conditions for those acts are met. The success of the act and its effect on a listener are separate questions.

    Conventions can help participants recognise a speech act and judge whether it takes effect. Its success also depends on the participants’ roles and the circumstances of the utterance.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Speaker change is the observable transition between speakers; turns are their contributions. Turn-taking concerns the temporal and interactional organisation of these transitions.

    A trace can point to something no longer directly accessible. A gap leaves a connection open to interpretation. Both ask the reader to make sense of what is absent from the immediate presentation.

    Voicing is a phonetic property. A phoneme is a contrastive unit in a language. Whether a difference in voicing distinguishes phonemes depends on the sound system.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Suppletion is an extreme contrast between forms within a single paradigm, often involving historically distinct stems. Allomorphy covers variation in how a morpheme is realised more generally. Analyses can treat suppletive forms as allomorphs while reserving suppletion for the more extreme alternation.
