  1. R-518 · Productive tension · undirected

    Affix ↔ Clitic

    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
    An affix combines with a base within a word. A clitic also needs a phonological host, but its position and scope can be determined by syntax. What can serve as the host and which unit the element applies to help distinguish the two kinds of attachment.

    Affix ↔ Confix

    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
    Affixes and confixes are both bound. A confix such as bio‑ in biography contributes lexical content to the formation. Its meaning and the forms it can combine with are relevant to how the word-formation pattern is analysed.

    Focus ↔ Topicalization

    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
    Focus makes information prominent or sets it in contrast. Here topicalisation refers to placing a constituent in the initial field of a German declarative clause. Context and accent help establish whether that constituent takes up the discourse topic or serves as the focus.

    Common ground ↔ Discourse particle

    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
    Common ground consists of assumptions participants treat as shared. A discourse particle can cue them to retrieve an assumption, confirm it or treat it as disputed. Whether the participants actually share it is a matter for the exchange itself.

    Metaphor ↔ Selection Restriction

    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
    Selection restrictions describe the kinds of meaning an expression normally expects in its complements. Metaphorical use can shift that expectation. The context then has to support a reading that makes sense of the initially unusual combination.
