    Enthymeme → Implicature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An enthymeme invites the audience to supply part of an argument. An implicature invites the hearer to infer a contextual message. Both involve inference, though they differ in what is inferred and how it is warranted.

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Epanalepsis brings back an expression after intervening material. Anadiplosis repeats the end of one unit at the start of the next. The comparison concerns where an expression returns.

    Epenthesis changes the sound sequence by inserting a segment. Metathesis reorders sounds already present. The contrast concerns what changes in the sequence.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Epenthesis inserts a sound. Assimilation makes sounds more similar in one or more features. Both can affect articulatory transitions, but the evidence for each process is different.

    Epiphora repeats an expression at the ends of successive units. Rhetorical anaphora repeats it at their beginnings. The position of the repetition distinguishes the two figures.

    Epiphora can link parallel units through identical closing words. Parallelism concerns structural correspondence and can occur without such end repetition.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Epistemology asks what justifies claims to knowledge. Hermeneutics asks how understanding and interpretation are possible. They meet when we ask what supports a reading and how to assess it against competing readings.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Free indirect discourse interweaves the narrator’s and the character’s voices. Focalisation asks whose knowledge and perceptions are available. The handling of voice and the restriction of information remain separate questions.

    Free Indirect Discourse → Irony

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In free indirect discourse, a character’s evaluation can differ from the narrator’s stance. That difference can create irony. The interweaving of voices alone provides too little evidence for an ironic reading.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Free indirect discourse can shape narrative perspective by bringing a character’s consciousness into the narration. It is one technique within the broader organisation of perspective.

    Euphemism treadmill → Connotation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The euphemism treadmill describes how a euphemistic expression can acquire new negative associations. Connotation helps explain this evaluative dimension. The course of change still varies from word to word.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A euphemism changes how something is described. Frame semantics asks what knowledge the new name evokes and whether it changes the way the object is understood.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Evidentiality marks a source of information. Modality can mark possibility, necessity or the speaker’s degree of commitment. A source indication and a degree of certainty can interact and still require separate analysis.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Evidentiality makes a speaker’s source of information visible in language. Epistemology asks what that source contributes to knowledge. Marking a source cannot guarantee truth or justification.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Foreignisation keeps linguistic or cultural differences of the source perceptible in the target text; domestication facilitates access through familiar target-language patterns. The strategies place different emphases and require assessment against their purpose and cultural consequences.

    Foreignisation can keep differences visible where familiar equivalents are lacking. Untranslatability names a limit to be investigated, not an automatic justification for every rendering marked as foreign.

    English editorial text
    Extraposition moves sentence material to the right. Topicalisation puts material in a prominent position to establish a topic. The comparison concerns sentence organisation and distinguishes linear position from discourse function.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Extraposition can change the weight of material at the end of a sentence and affect how readers or listeners process it. Information structure helps explain how that material is presented as given, new or prominent. Other syntactic and processing factors may also favour end position.
