Taxonomickou

Taxonomickou is a Czech adjectival form meaning “taxonomic” or “relating to taxonomy” when used with feminine nouns in the accusative singular. It is the feminine accusative form of taxonomický and appears in phrases such as taxonomickou klasifikaci rostlin, taxonomickou nomenklaturu zvířat, or taxonomickou terminologii. In standard Czech usage, adjectives agree in gender and case with the noun they modify, so taxonomickou occurs in contexts requiring the accusative feminine form.

Taxonomy, or systematics, is the scientific discipline that names, describes, and classifies living organisms and, increasingly, other groups such as viruses. It provides a hierarchical framework—domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species—and uses binomial nomenclature (the two-part Latin name) for species. Historically, Carl Linnaeus established the modern naming system; today, taxonomy also integrates phylogenetics and molecular data to reflect evolutionary relationships. Taxonomic revisions are common as new evidence emerges, sometimes leading to reclassification or splitting of groups.

Taxonomic work is governed by nomenclature codes to ensure stable names: the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp); the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN); and the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP). The term taxonomickou appears in Czech texts when the sentence requires the accusative feminine form, while the base adjective taxonomická is more common in nominative or other cases. Overall, taxonomickou serves as a grammatically inflected marker that anchors discussions of taxonomy within Czech language usage.
