Paradigmalarnda

Paradigmalarnda is a Turkish expression that translates to “in the paradigms.” It is formed from paradigmalar, the plural of paradigma (paradigm), combined with the locative suffix -da (or -da/-de depending on vowel harmony). In standard Turkish spelling, the locative ending often appears as -ında when additional suffixes or possessive markers are present; the simpler form paradigmalarnda can occur as a shortened or informal variant in some contexts. The phrase thus marks location within or inside multiple theoretical frameworks or sets of paradigms.

In usage, paradigmalarnda typically appears in academic writing, linguistic analyses, and discussions of methodological or theoretical frameworks. It helps specify that a statement, example, or observation holds within particular paradigms rather than across all possible frameworks. For example, a sentence might refer to findings that hold paradigmalarnda, distinguishing them from conclusions drawn under alternative theoretical approaches.

Turkish morphology underpins the construction of paradigmalarnda. Nouns take plural suffixes (-lar/-ler), and locative suffixes attach to the resulting form to indicate location. The exact spelling can vary with vowel harmony and with the presence of other suffixes in a longer noun phrase, which is why you might see related forms such as paradigmalarında in more formal or fully suffixed contexts.
