Artikloja

Artikloja is a term encountered in linguistic discussions and information-science contexts to denote something related to articles. It is not a widely standardized category, but rather a label used in illustrative or experimental works to discuss article-like phenomena or article-related features in texts and datasets.

Etymology and scope. The form is generally treated as an adjective built from the root artiklo, meaning article or item, with an -ja suffix used in various languages to express “pertaining to.” In this sense, artikloja can be understood as “pertaining to articles” or “article-related.” Because it is not a fixed term in major grammars or typologies, its precise interpretation can vary by author and discipline.

Applications in linguistics. In theoretical discussions, artikloja is used to explore how languages encode article-like information, such as the presence, absence, or type of definite and indefinite articles. It also appears in cross-linguistic comparisons showing how different systems mark article features on nouns, adjectives, or determiners, sometimes illustrating how article-hood interacts with case, number, or gender.

Applications in information systems. In digital humanities and text-oriented databases, artikloja may label collections or modules focused on plain-text articles rather than multimedia content. It can appear as a tagging convention to separate article-centric resources from images, videos, or data sets.
