Versetzungen

(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 dislocations within the metal of the old bridge, invisible to the eye, caused it to weaken over time and eventually require replacement. "

Die Versetzungen im Metall der alten Brücke, unsichtbar für das Auge, führten dazu, dass sie sich im Laufe der Zeit abschwächte und schließlich ersetzt werden musste.

noun

Dislokation, Satzumstellung

(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 teacher pointed out several dislocations in the student's essay, such as "That movie, I really liked it," where "That movie" is placed outside the main clause. "

Der Lehrer wies auf mehrere Satzumstellungen in dem Aufsatz des Schülers hin, wie zum Beispiel: „Den Film, den mochte ich wirklich“, wobei „Den Film“ außerhalb des Hauptsatzes steht.
