Paradigmában

Paradigmában is a Hungarian term that literally translates to “within the paradigm” in English. It is used to describe when something exists or operates inside a particular conceptual framework or model. The word is formed from the noun paradigm, borrowed from Greek “parádhmi” meaning a picture or model, and the suffix ‑ban, a locative case ending that denotes “in” or “inside.” This combination thus conveys the sense of something being situated inside a specific system of thought, methodology, or worldview.

In academic writing, paradigm in the sense of a paradigm shift or paradigmatic structure is common. The phrase parapragmában often appears when discussing scientific or philosophical contexts, for example: “In the paradigm of classical mechanics, energy is conserved.” It can also be used more loosely in everyday speech to indicate following a certain tradition or method, such as: “The design was created paradigmában modernist principles.” The usage usually signals that the referenced object or idea aligns with or is governed by the rules of the overarching paradigm.

The term appears in linguistic studies of Hungarian syntax, where scholars analyze how attachment of locative and noun modifiers may influence the interpretation of a sentence. In these contexts, paradigmában emphasizes that modifiers affect meaning within the grammatical paradigm. Overall, the phrase encapsulates the idea of being confined or defined by a larger conceptual scheme.
