Ideologinis

Ideologinis is a Lithuanian adjective meaning ideological. It describes things related to ideology, including beliefs, systems, movements, policies, or arguments that are rooted in or motivated by a particular set of ideas. In academic and public discourse, ideologinis is used to distinguish perspectives framed by ideology from those grounded in empirical or pragmatic considerations.

Etymology: Ideologinis is formed from ideologija (ideology) with the common Lithuanian adjectival suffix -inis. It follows standard inflection patterns for adjectives, agreeing with the noun in gender and number.

Usage: Common collocations include ideologinis požiūris (ideological perspective), ideologinis diskursas (ideological discourse), ideologinis konfliktas (ideological conflict), ideologinis motyvas (ideological motive). In contrast to terms like techninis or utilitarinis, ideologinis signals that the subject is defined by a system of ideas rather than by neutral or instrumental criteria. In political science and sociology, the term helps analyze how ideas shape policy and communication.
