    Topic projection → Focus

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Topic and focus concern different dimensions of information structure. Projection requires identifying the domain that receives an interpretation; prominence alone establishes neither topic status nor a syntactic TopP.

    Topic projection → Left-hand anticipation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Left dislocation may place an expression before a clause and resume it within the clause. A topic interpretation or a longer-range discourse expectation must be shown from construction and context; neither is automatically identical to a TopP.

    Topic projection → Information structure

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Information structure provides distinctions for describing topic status and focus. Projection additionally requires a specification of its sense: interpretive domain, model-dependent structure, or an explicitly extended discourse application.

    Soft sign → Diacritic

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Russian ь is an independent letter whose functions vary with the word form. The link to diacritics compares reading cues without classifying it as a mark attached to another letter.

    Ajami script → Alphabetic writing

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Ajami covers traditions that adapt Arabic script to write different African languages. The profile on alphabetic writing offers a point of comparison for how signs represent individual sound segments. The conventions of each Ajami tradition need to be established from its own writing practice.

    Ajami script → Transcription

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Documented example
    The Wolof Ajami Reader presents Dame Diané’s poem Nee leen dem naa in Ajami and in a Latin-script transcription of the Wolof text. Adapting Arabic script to write Wolof and transcribing an existing Wolof text into another script are different operations. The Reader illustrates the latter.

    The original Atlas cue “Schriftanpassung” (script adaptation) was mapped to Transcription. The Reader supplies a documented example. The original record leaves the specific procedure unspecified.
