Transkriptivní

Transkriptivní is a Czech adjective used to denote a relation to transcription. It derives from the noun transkript (transcript) with the suffix -ní. The term appears across several disciplines to indicate processes, forms or analyses that involve creating or using a transcript of spoken or written material.

In biology and genetics, transkriptivní refers to transcription and its regulatory aspects. The phrase transkriptivní regulace genů describes mechanisms that control the initiation and level of gene transcription from DNA to RNA. Transkriptivní faktory, such as transcription factors, bind to DNA regulatory regions to modulate transcription. The concept is central to understanding gene expression and cellular function.

In linguistics, transkriptivní relates to the transcription of speech or language data. It describes procedures and products that represent spoken language with symbols, for example phonetic or phonemic transcription. Transkriptivní zápis distinguishes from orthographic zápis by reflecting pronunciation rather than conventional spelling. Researchers may perform transkriptivní analýzu, coding utterances according to a transcription system.

Because it spans fields, the precise meaning of transkriptivní depends on context. In science, it often designates transcriptional processes; in humanities, transcription-based representation of language. The term is common in Czech academic writing and education.
