Kontrukcii

Kontrukcii is a transliterated term used in several languages to denote constructions or structures. In everyday use it can refer to physical buildings and bridges, as well as abstract forms of "construction" used in theory. Spelling and pronunciation vary by language.

In linguistics, a construction is a conventional pairing of form and meaning. Construction grammar treats knowledge of language as an inventory of constructions rather than a system of abstract rules. Examples include word order patterns and idiomatic phrasal forms.

In architecture and civil engineering, constructions are buildings, bridges, tunnels and other engineered works. Design combines geometry, materials science, and safety standards, with codes such as load-bearing requirements and seismic criteria guiding planning and inspection.

In social sciences, constructs are theoretical concepts that researchers use to describe and measure phenomena. Examples include intelligence, motivation, and socioeconomic status. Constructs must be defined clearly and operationalized into observable indicators for empirical study.

The term has cognates in many languages. Etymologically related to Latin constructio and English construction, kontrukcii reflects shared roots in the idea of putting parts together into a whole.
