    Anaphora → Epanalepsis

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Anaphora repeats an expression at the starts of successive units. Epanalepsis brings an expression back after intervening material. In its narrower sense, the repeated opening closes the same unit.

    Anaphora → Parallelism

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Anaphora can reinforce parallel sentence openings by repeating the same words. Parallelism concerns the recurrence of a structure and can occur with different opening words.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Recurring sentence openings can produce an audible rhythm. This is one effect of rhetorical anaphora, among the many ways a text can establish a rhythm.

    Anaphora (grammatical reference) → Deixis

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Grammatical anaphora relies on linguistically available context to recover a referent. Deixis locates the referent relative to an utterance situation. In actual use the two sources of reference can work together.

    Anticlimax → Climax

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An anticlimax reverses an expected or incipient rise. Its effect becomes clearer alongside the ascending order of a climax. A descending sequence need not be comic.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Anticlimax and bathos can both upset expectations of elevation or intensification. Anticlimax concerns the ordering of successive elements. Bathos is a drop in register or tone perceived as incongruous.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An anticlimax may have an ironic effect by frustrating an expectation of escalation. The effect depends on context. A descending sequence alone does not establish irony.

    Antimetabole → Chiasmus

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Antimetabole repeats the same lexical material in reverse order. Chiasmus crosses corresponding structures and can use different words. The recurrence of the same lexical material is the narrower criterion.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Antimetabole combines repeated wording with reversed order. Comparing it with parallelism shows which structural features recur and which roles are exchanged.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Aposiopesis makes the breaking off of an utterance conspicuous. Ellipsis leaves material unspoken and need not stage an interruption. Whether the missing material can be recovered does not by itself distinguish the two.

    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
    Aposiopesis stops an utterance before its expected continuation. Anacoluthon continues after a shift in construction. The two can feel disruptive for different syntactic reasons.

    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
    Apostrophe addresses someone absent or turns to something abstract or nonhuman. Personification attributes human qualities. An address can suggest personhood without developing a full personification.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Apostrophe changes who or what is addressed. Aposiopesis changes how the utterance continues. Either can create a marked break in a speech, independently of the other.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Equivalence identifies a correspondence under stated translation criteria. Untranslatability marks limits on that correspondence. It can apply to a particular feature even when other aspects can be conveyed.

    English editorial text
    The skopos specifies what a translation is meant to achieve. This purpose helps determine what kind of equivalence to seek and which departures from the source are justified.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Ambiguity leaves more than one interpretation open. Equivocation shifts the meaning of a term within an argument while treating it as constant. The error lies in the inference drawn across that shift.

    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homonyms have the same pronunciation or spelling but different meanings. Equivocation can exploit an unnoticed switch between those meanings in an argument. The availability of homonyms alone entails no fallacy.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An argument can shift unnoticed between related senses of a polysemous expression. Equivocation concerns what the argument infers across that shift, distinct from the expression’s range of senses.

    An archaism is marked as old-fashioned relative to current usage. In some registers it may be expected. Its suitability in a given context is a separate question from its historical age.

    Aspiration involves audible breath after a consonant release and, in stops, often goes with a longer delay before voicing begins. Voicing concerns vibration of the vocal folds. The two properties can interact and should be distinguished.
