Tekijöinnin

Tekijöinnin is the genitive form of the Finnish noun tekijöinti, a term that refers to the act of creating, producing, or attributing authorship. In Finnish discourse, tekijöinti can denote both the process by which something is made and the status of being the creator or author of a work. The word appears in academic, critical, and cultural discussions about provenance, ownership, and responsibility for a creation.

Etymology and form: Tekijöinti is derived from tekijä (maker, creator, author) with the nominalizing suffix -inti, yielding the meaning “the act of making” or “authorship.” The genitive form tekijöinnin marks a relationship to another element in a sentence, such as possession, attribution, or scope, for example in phrases discussing the scope of tekijöinnin vaikutus or the responsibilities associated with tekijöinnin omistajuus.

Usage: In scholarly writing, tekijöinnin is used to refer to the attribution or creation process of a work. It is more common in analysis or theoretical discussion than in everyday language, where terms like tekijä or tekijänoikeus are typical. It can appear in discussions of collaborative or collective authorship, attribution practices, and the cognitive or ethical aspects of creating works.

Relation to copyright: Tekijöinnin intersects with tekijänoikeus (copyright) in that both concern origins and rights related to a work. However, tekijöinnin is a broader, non-legal term describing the act or status of creation, rather than a specific legal entitlement.
