    Diegesis → Metalepsis

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metalepsis crosses boundaries between narrative levels. The concept of diegesis helps identify those levels before deciding whether a boundary has been crossed.

    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Diglossia concerns how a community assigns different functions to its language varieties. Code-switching concerns alternation in actual language use. Evidence of a functional division and evidence of switching answer different questions.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In a diglossic community, different varieties may serve different settings and tasks. Register helps explain how language use responds to such situations and expectations, including in communities with no comparable division.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Diglossia concerns the functions varieties serve in a community. A sociolect concerns patterns associated with a social group. The two can intersect when a group uses a particular variety for a particular purpose.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A diphthong and a hiatus both involve successive vowel qualities. A diphthong belongs to a single syllable nucleus. A hiatus places a syllable boundary between adjacent vowels.

    English editorial text
    A diphthong combines vowel qualities within a syllable nucleus. The syllable is the larger structural unit. Its nucleus can also consist of a single vowel.

    English editorial text
    The boundary between discourse particles and discourse markers varies across frameworks. To compare them, ask where each expression fits grammatically and what it does in the exchange.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Discourse particles can shape the stance and expectations conveyed by an utterance. Modality concerns such dimensions as possibility and validity. The role of a particle and the grammatical marking of modality require separate analysis.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Discourse particles can guide listeners towards a particular interpretation. A conversational implicature is something listeners infer beyond what is said. In analysing a particle, separate what it conventionally contributes from what listeners infer on that occasion.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Distinctive features describe properties that contribute to phonological contrasts. A phoneme is identified by its role in the sound system, which can be realised in more than one way.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A minimal pair shows that a difference in sound can distinguish words. An analysis in terms of distinctive features then asks what property or combination of properties accounts for the contrast.

    Meaning of the relation type

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Affricates raise questions about how their features are organised and whether they form a single phonological unit. Distinctive features can help distinguish them from other segments. The analysis depends on their role in the language’s sound system.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Domestication brings a translation closer to familiar ways of expressing or presenting things in the receiving culture. Whether it preserves an equivalent meaning, effect or function depends on which of those criteria we use.
