Reprezentáciami

Reprezentáciami is the instrumental plural form of the noun reprezentácia in Slovak, and the corresponding Czech form is reprezentacemi. The word means representations and is used to denote multiple representations or the means by which something is represented. The instrumental plural is typical for indicating the means or instruments by which something is expressed or conveyed in a sentence.

Etymology and usage notes: The term derives from Latin representatio, through the history of European languages into Slavic varieties such as Slovak and Czech. In scientific and scholarly writing, the form reprezentáciami (Slovak) or reprezentacemi (Czech) appears when referring to several representations as the method or medium of depiction, encoding, or interpretation.

Contexts and domains: In linguistics and cognitive science, discussions frequently distinguish between mental representations (mentálne/mentálne reprezentácie) and semantic representations used in models and theories. In philosophy of mind, epistemology, and artificial intelligence, representations are analyzed as the objects of thought, data structures, or symbolic encodings. In mathematics and computer science, phrases such as teória reprezentácií (representation theory) or reprezentácie algebraických štruktúr describe how abstract objects are encoded as representations. In everyday language, the term can refer to charts, models, diagrams, or other forms that stand for or illustrate information.
