Lexikaalisista

Lexikaalisista is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective lexikaalinen, meaning lexical. It functions as the elative plural form, used to describe lexical phenomena when the modified noun is plural and in the elative case. In practical terms, lexikaalisista appears in academic or analytical Finnish to indicate scope or reference to the lexical domain, such as words and their relationships, rather than to general or grammatical aspects.

Morphology and usage context: The base form lexikaalinen denotes something related to the lexicon or vocabulary. In plural elative constructions, the adjective takes the form lexikaalisista to agree with a plural noun in the elative case, for example lexikaalisista suhteista or lexikaalisista muutoksista. Such phrases are common in linguistics, lexicology and discussions of language data, where the topic centers on lexical items, their connections, or changes within the lexicon.

Examples of usage: Puhutaan lexikaalisista suhteista. The phrase indicates discussion about lexical relations. Tutkimus käsittelee lexikaalisista muutoksista syntyviä ilmiöitä. These constructions show how lexical topics are framed within a sentence by using the elative plural form of the adjective.

Etymology: The word derives from the Finnish form of lexical, itself borrowed from the Latin/Greek root related to lexis and lexicon, adapted into Finnish as lexikaalinen.

Note: Lexikaalisista is not a distinct concept or field; it is a grammatical inflection used to refer to lexical topics in plural elative contexts.
