Pluraliserad

Pluraliserad is a Swedish adjective meaning “made plural” or “pluralized.” It is used to describe words, forms, or constructions that have undergone pluralization. In linguistic and grammatical descriptions, the term helps distinguish between singular forms and their pluralised counterparts. The concept is common in discussions of morphology, syntax, and language technology related to pluralization rules.

Etymology and formation: pluraliserad is formed from the verb pluralisera, meaning to pluralize, with the Swedish adjectival suffix -erad (the past participle form, equivalent to English -ized). The base element plural originates from Latin pluralis, transmitted into Swedish through historical language contact. The result is a productive term in modern Swedish for describing completed pluralization.

Usage in grammar and analysis: The word is typically used to refer to a form that has been changed from singular to plural. For example, the singular ordet “bil” becomes the pluraliserade form “bilar.” In formal descriptions, one might speak of “den pluraliserade formen” of ett ord or refer to pluralisation as a morphological process that yields a pluraliserad form.

Relation to related terms: Pluralisering is the process of making plural; plural, singular, and inflection are broader concepts in morphology. While pluraliserad denotes the state of having been pluralized, the term is most often encountered in linguistic analysis, grammar guides, and discussions of language-processing tools that handle plural forms.
