Uzgodnieniowa

Uzgodnieniowa is a term used in linguistics to describe phenomena or elements that participate in morphemic or syntactic agreement within a phrase. It refers to the property of certain modifiers to match a head word in grammatical categories, primarily gender, number and case, in languages with rich inflection such as Polish. The adjective uzgodnieniowa is formed from uzgodnienie (agreement) with the suffix -owa, indicating its relation to agreement.

In descriptive grammar, uzgodnieniowa describes how adjectives, determiners, numerals and other modifiers inflect to agree with the noun they modify. This agreement is a key component of morphosyntax, affecting how phrases are formed and interpreted. For example, in Polish the adjective and the noun must share the same gender and number: czerwony samochód (red car, masculine singular), czerwone samochody (red cars, masculine personal plural). Similar patterns occur with feminine and neuter nouns, as in dobra książka (good book) and dobre książki (good books).

The concept also extends to the agreement of determiners and pronouns with their antecedents, and to numerals that must agree in form with the nouns they quantify. In linguistic theory, uzgodnieniowa is used to classify and analyze features responsible for agreement, including morphophonological adjustments and hierarchical syntax constraints. It is relevant for language description, teaching, and natural language processing, where correct agreement affects parsing, generation, and comprehension.
