Versetzung, Verschiebung

(materials) A linear defect in a crystal lattice. Because dislocations can shift within the crystal lattice, they tend to weaken the material, compared to a perfect crystal.

Examples :

"The metal's weakness was caused by a high concentration of dislocations in its crystal structure, allowing it to bend easily under pressure. "

Die Schwäche des Metalls wurde durch eine hohe Konzentration von Versetzungen in seiner Kristallstruktur verursacht, wodurch es sich unter Druck leicht verbiegen ließ.

noun

Dislokation, Satzgliedauslagerung

(grammar) A sentence structure in which a constituent that could otherwise be either an argument or an adjunct of a clause occurs outside of and adjacent to the clause boundaries. For example, the sentence, "My father, he is a good man", is a left dislocation because the constituent "My father" has been moved to the left of the clause "he is a good man". See dislocation.

Examples :

"The professor explained left dislocation using the example: "That new movie, it was surprisingly good," pointing out that "that new movie" is moved to the front. "

Der Professor erklärte die Linksdislokation anhand des Beispiels: „Dieser neue Film, er war überraschend gut“, und wies darauf hin, dass „Dieser neue Film“ nach vorne verschoben wurde.
