Variantlarda

Variantlarda is a Turkish term used in linguistics to denote the locative plural form meaning in variants or among variants. It is formed from the noun varyant (variant) with the plural suffix -lar and the locative suffix -da, resulting in varyantlar + da = varyantlarda. The construction is used to discuss different manifestations, versions, or realizations of a linguistic item across contexts, dialects, or data sets.

Etymology and formation: The root varyant is a borrowed term shared with other languages to denote variant or version. Turkish attaches standard suffixes for number and location, producing a word that functions grammatically as a noun in the locative plural.

Usage: Variantlarda appears in scholarly linguistic writing, corpus studies, dialectology, and comparative morphology to indicate the distribution or occurrence of multiple forms. It is not a common everyday expression but is employed when describing variation within a set of forms, words, or pronunciations.

Examples: In a Turkish morphology study, one might report that "Kök varyantları incelendi ve varyantlarda ünsüz değişimleri kaydedildi." In a dialect corpus, "Söz varyantlarında görülen ses değişimleri belirginleşir." Such usage helps label the context where multiple forms are actively compared and analyzed.
