anlamlarda

Anlamlarda is the locative plural form of the Turkish noun anlam, meaning “meanings.” It is used to refer to meanings or senses within a discussion, particularly in linguistic, semantic, or lexicographic contexts. The form signals location, context, or domain of meanings being considered.

Morphology and formation: The base meaning is anlam. To form the plural, Turkish adds the suffix -lar, yielding anlamlar. The locative suffix -da combines with the plural to produce anlamlarda, indicating “in the meanings.” Turkish vowel harmony governs the choice of -da (instead of -de) in this word, based on the preceding vowels. The construction demonstrates how multiple suffixes can stack to express nuanced relations in Turkish.

Usage and scope: Anlamlarda appears mainly in academic or analytical Turkish texts when a discussion covers several senses or readings of a word, or when comparing meanings across contexts. It helps frame statements about polysemy, contextual variation, or semantic shifts. In lexicography, it can reference the different senses listed or discussed in a dictionary entry.
