Sanastoluettelo

Sanastoluettelo is a Finnish term that translates to "glossary" or "index of terms." It refers to an alphabetical list of specialized words or phrases used within a particular text, document, or field of study, along with their definitions or explanations. The primary purpose of a sanastoluettelo is to assist readers in understanding the terminology that may be unfamiliar to them, thereby enhancing comprehension of the main content.

These lists are commonly found in academic papers, technical manuals, legal documents, and books that deal with specific subject matter. A well-constructed sanastoluettelo can significantly improve the accessibility and clarity of complex information. It often appears at the end of a work or as a separate appendix. The entries are typically brief, providing concise definitions that are relevant to the context in which the terms are used. The inclusion of a sanastoluettelo demonstrates a commitment to ensuring that the information presented is understandable to a broader audience.
