Semantilne

Semantilne is an adjective form used in several South Slavic languages to denote relation to meaning or semantics. It functions as a feminine plural or neuter form of a base meaning “semantic” and appears in noun phrases describing meaning-related aspects of language, data, or knowledge. In English-language writing the term is not standard, but it occurs in regional academic texts and glossaries to refer to semantic aspects.

In linguistic and cognitive contexts, semantilne constructions describe how meaning is encoded, structured, and interpreted within linguistic units or symbolic representations. They are used when grouping or labeling phenomena such as semantic relations, semantic fields, or meaning-based networks. In information science and artificial intelligence, semantilne models and terms appear in discussions of ontology design, semantic search, and knowledge graphs, where relationships between concepts are crucial for interpretation and retrieval.

The term derives from the root semant- (from Greek semantikos, meaning sign or meaning) and reflects the broader family of words that denote semantics. While semantilne itself is primarily a regional adjectival form, its use signals attention to meaning, interpretation, and the semantic layer in interdisciplinary work spanning linguistics, computer science, and philosophy of language.
