Linguistisessä

Linguistisessä is not a distinct field or concept in linguistics, but rather a form of the Finnish adjective lingvistinen, which means “linguistic.” In standard Finnish, the adjective is used to describe things related to linguistics, language, or the study of language. The form linguististinen appears in compounds and phrases, most commonly in the inessive case, for example lingvistisessä tutkimuksessa meaning “in linguistic research.”

In Finnish, adjectives of the -inen type inflect for case and number, so lingvistinen becomes lingvistisen (genitive), lingvististä (partitive), and lingvistisessä (inessive), among others. These inflected forms are used to place the descriptive word in a broader noun phrase. For instance, lingvistisessä tutkimuksessa describes the context of the research, while lingvistisen tutkimuksen describes possession or relation to the research in other cases. While the root lingvist- clearly derives from the word for linguistics, the standard spelling of the adjective remains lingvistinen, not linguistinen, in formal Finnish.

If "Linguistisessä" appears capitalized, it is unlikely to refer to a widely recognized concept in linguistics. More often it would be a proper noun, such as a title, project, or publication name. In ordinary prose, however, speakers would use lingvistinen and its inflected forms rather than treating Linguistisessä as a standalone term.
