Forskningens

Forskningens is the genitive form of the Swedish noun forskning, which means research. It is formed by attaching the possessive suffix -s to the definite form forskningen to indicate possession or association, translating to “the research’s” or “of research” in English.

In usage, forskningens appears in phrases that relate things to research, such as forskningens mål (the aims of research) or forskningens finansiering (the funding of research). The possessive suffix -s is a common way to express ownership or relation in Swedish noun phrases, and forskningen + -s yields forskningens in contexts where possession or attribution is being stated.

Etymology and grammar: forskning derives from the verb forska, meaning to study or investigate, with the -ning suffix forming a noun that denotes the process or result. The -s possessive marker is a separate morphological layer that attaches to definite nouns to express ownership or association.

Usage context: The form is typical in academic, policy, and media texts where discussions center on attributes, resources, or implications connected to research. It is primarily a Swedish construction but has parallels in other North Germanic languages, such as Danish and Norwegian, where similar possessive forms are used in comparable contexts.

Note: As a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, forskningens appears within noun phrases to attribute content to or about research.
