Sammanvexar

Sammanvexar is a Swedish verb that denotes interweaving or merging two or more elements into a single, integrated whole. It can describe literal processes, such as interlacing threads in weaving, as well as metaphorical processes, such as combining ideas, data, or stylistic elements in a work. The term is used in both everyday and specialized Swedish, though it appears more often in academic or technical writing.

In practice, sammanvexar appears in fields such as linguistics, information science, design, and the arts. It emphasizes bringing separate strands into coherence to create a unified result. For example, researchers may sammanvexar data from multiple sources to form a synthesized view, or artists may sammanvexar different textures in a installation.

Relation to related terms: sammanvexar is closely related to sammanväva (to interweave) and väva (to weave). The word is less common in casual speech but is encountered in specialized texts, where the nuance of combining disparate elements into a cohesive whole is important.

Examples: Forskaren sammanvexar data från flera källor för att få en syntetiserad bild. Konstnären sammanvexar olika texturer i en installation. Inom musik kan teman sammanvexas till ett större, övergripande tema.
