Hi,
Wie könnte man hier "anknüpfen" formell übersetzen?
Kontext:
"Es werden ausgewählte Themen behandelt, soweit sich hier an die Inhalte der Grundvorlesungen im ersten Studienjahr anknüpfen lässt."
Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!

German term (edited):
ankn�pfen (kontext)
Selected
relate
something derived from Latin then. I'd need more context, but here's a go:
The lectures/seminar or, possibly, We ... will cover selected topics/themes related to the content of the first-year introductory lectures.
more freely: ...will cover selected topics, building on the content ...
The soweit is restrictive (...topics/themes but only if they relate to...), but I don't really get it.
The lectures/seminar or, possibly, We ... will cover selected topics/themes related to the content of the first-year introductory lectures.
more freely: ...will cover selected topics, building on the content ...
The soweit is restrictive (...topics/themes but only if they relate to...), but I don't really get it.

Trying to be brief, I may not have not expressed myself very well. Both 'onnly' and 'to the extent that' limit/specify the subset of topics. To me, after "ausgewählt," the "soweit" is a bit redundant. Fortunately, the asker has access to the author.

be consistent with/fit in with/correspond to
personally I think you need something more "neutral" than "pick up the thread".

maybe
to the extent a link can be established with the contents of basic lectures given in the first year of study
or just 'can be linked'
