Niespójna

Niespójna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective niespójny, used to describe something that lacks internal coherence, consistency, or logical alignment. The term is common in criticism, analysis, and editing, where statements, narratives, data, or plans are judged as failing to fit together in a coherent whole.

The word is formed from the prefix nie- meaning negation and the adjective spójny, which denotes cohesion or coherence. Related forms include niespójny (masc.), niespójne (neut.), niespójny (nominative masc.), niespójnie (adverb), and the noun niespójność, referring to inconsistency or incoherence.

Niespójna can describe a wide range of phenomena, such as an inconsistent argument, a contradictory narrative, irregular data, or a design that does not follow a clear logic. In academic writing or journalism, identifying niespójność may point to gaps in reasoning, conflicting sources, or methodological flaws. It can also appear in contexts like marketing or storytelling, where a message or plot is perceived as unclear or not well aligned with stated goals.

Synonyms and related terms include niespójny, sprzeczny, chaotyczny, and nielogiczny, while antonyms include spójny, logiczny, and konsekwentny. While not inherently pejorative, niespójna typically signals a need for revision to achieve clarity and coherence.
