Parenteeraaliset

Parenteeraaliset is a term used in linguistics to describe a specific type of linguistic feature or phenomenon. It broadly refers to elements that are either directly related to, or occur in conjunction with, the primary utterance or text. This can encompass a wide range of linguistic and paralinguistic aspects.

In some contexts, parenteeraaliset might refer to parenthetical remarks or clauses that provide additional information, clarification, or commentary, but are not essential to the main grammatical structure or meaning of the sentence. These can be set off by punctuation such as commas, dashes, or parentheses themselves. For example, in the sentence "The dog, a golden retriever, was very friendly," the phrase "a golden retriever" functions parenthetically.

More broadly, the concept can extend to elements that accompany speech but are not part of the spoken words themselves. This might include intonation, pauses, gestures, or facial expressions that modify or reinforce the meaning of the verbal message. In written text, this could also encompass annotations, footnotes, or marginalia that are supplementary to the main body of the text. The precise definition and application of parenteeraaliset can vary depending on the specific linguistic theory or framework being employed.
