Esimerkkisanastoina

Esimerkkisanastoina is a Finnish term that translates to "as example vocabularies" or "for example vocabularies" in English. It is not a single, formally defined linguistic concept or a specific published work. Instead, it refers to a collection of words or phrases used for illustrative purposes. These collections can appear in various contexts, such as language learning materials, dictionaries, linguistic studies, or even in informal discussions about language.

The primary function of an "esimerkkisanastoina" is to provide concrete examples of how words are used, to showcase variations in meaning, or to demonstrate grammatical structures. For instance, a textbook might present a list of verbs followed by their common conjugations as an "esimerkkisanastoina" to help learners understand verb morphology. Similarly, a linguistic paper might include a selection of dialectal terms as "esimerkkisanastoina" to illustrate regional linguistic differences.

The term emphasizes the illustrative and exemplary nature of the vocabulary presented. It suggests that the words are not exhaustive or definitive but are chosen to serve as a guide or representation of a broader linguistic phenomenon. Therefore, when encountering "esimerkkisanastoina," one should understand it as a curated set of words intended to clarify a particular linguistic point or concept. The specific content and purpose of an "esimerkkisanastoina" would depend entirely on the context in which it is used.
