Mushākalah occurs when an expression is chosen for a meaning other than its ordinary one because of the presence—actual or implied—of a corresponding expression nearby.
The repeated or related wording may refer to two different acts. Its distinctive effect is verbal harmony despite a shift in meaning.
It should not be confused with jinās, which foregrounds a resemblance between word forms. Mushākalah is caused by an associative use of a neighboring expression.
