    Chiasmus → Antimetabole

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Chiasmus crosses the order of corresponding elements. Antimetabole adds the requirement that the same lexical material recur in reverse order. This gives a formal way to distinguish the related figures.

    Chiasmus → 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
    Chiasmus can be understood as parallel structure with the order of corresponding elements reversed. The crossed arrangement gives it a different shape from parallelism that preserves the same order.

    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 code organizes correspondences between signs and meanings. Convention describes how such correspondences or other shared rules become established in a community. The relation connects the organization of a system with the practices that sustain it.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Symbols are understood through learned associations and can be organized into codes. A single symbol is one element of a system of correspondences.

    Code-switching → Diglossia

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Code-switching is the alternation between linguistic codes in use. Diglossia concerns the socially patterned distribution of functions across varieties. Individual switches can be analysed in that context, but they cannot establish diglossia on their own.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Both code-switching and a shift in register can signal a change in the conversational situation. Register concerns language use in particular settings, so a register shift can take place within a single language.

    English editorial text
    Shared knowledge of the situation can help participants resolve a deictic reference. Common ground helps explain how they can tell which object someone means by “that over there”.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A presupposition presents information as already given. Common ground is the background that participants take to be shared. An assumption can already belong to it, be accepted during the exchange, or be challenged.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Hearers draw on assumptions about shared knowledge when they infer an implicature. Common ground is one resource for that inference. Each hearer may also draw conclusions of their own.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Through accommodation, participants can provisionally treat a new assumption as part of their common ground. This leaves open whether they actually agree with it or whether it is true.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A slippery slope argument predicts a problematic chain of consequences. Abduction offers a possible explanation for an observation. Both invite scrutiny of their assumptions, one in making a prediction and the other in proposing an explanation.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A slippery slope argument can frame an initial decision as the start of an unstoppable decline. Framing makes that perspective open to analysis. The predicted chain of consequences still requires evidence.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A slippery slope argument can distort the available options by positing a chain of consequences. A false dilemma does so by restricting the alternatives. Each calls for a different test.

    Why connected?

    Deixis anchors reference in the situation of utterance. Grammatical anaphora recovers reference from accessible linguistic context. The comparison concerns two sources of reference and uses anaphora in its grammatical sense.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Expressions such as ‘here’ and ‘that’ often rely on a shared point of reference and can help establish one. Common ground explains how that shared orientation is possible. Identifying the referent still requires attention to the situation.
