Språklig

Språklig is a Norwegian adjective meaning language-related or linguistic. It is used to describe phenomena, concepts, or skills connected to language, and appears in compounds such as språklig kompetanse (linguistic competence) or språklig utvikling (language development).

In linguistics, education, and everyday speech, språklig is used to signify features of language rather than general attributes. Common collocations include språklige trekk (linguistic features), språklig bevissthet (linguistic awareness), and språklig mangfold (linguistic diversity).

The word is built from språkl- from språk, meaning language, and the suffix -lig, which forms adjectives meaning related to or characteristic of something. It has cognates in other Scandinavian languages, such as Swedish språklig and Danish sproglig, reflecting shared Germanic roots.

Grammar follows the standard Norwegian adjective pattern. Indefinite singular common gender: en språklig løsning; indefinite singular neuter: et språklig fenomen. Plural: språklige løsninger. Definite: den språklige løsningen, de språklige løsningene. It is commonly used across registers to discuss language-related phenomena.
