Konstrukció

Konstrukció is a Hungarian term meaning construction, assembly, or structure. It denotes both the act of building and the resulting object, and it also appears in more specialized contexts to describe how components are arranged into systems or patterns. The word is derived from Latin constructio and has cognates in many European languages.

In physical disciplines, konstrukció refers to civil engineering, architecture, mechanical design, and related trades. It encompasses planning, design, material selection, and the methods used to assemble components into buildings, bridges, machines, or infrastructure. Projects are typically organized into stages such as design, permitting, site preparation, erection, and finishing, and are guided by standards and safety regulations.

In geometry, a konstrukció means a construction method for producing a figure with a compass and straightedge, following a series of steps that comply with geometric rules.

In linguistics, especially cognitive linguistics and construction grammar, konstrukció denotes a conventional form–meaning unit. A construction can range from idiomatic phrases to abstract syntactic patterns; its interpretation arises from the interplay of form and conventionalized meaning rather than from component parts alone. Examples include idioms and certain argument structures.
