célsejthez

Célsejthez is a fictional grammatical category used in constructed languages and speculative linguistics to describe a discourse-oriented verb suffix that signals the speaker's alignment with a stated goal of the action. It is not attested as a natural language feature in real-world languages.

Etymology and classification: The term is a coinage that blends imagined roots from constructed languages and the suffix -sejthez, intended to convey goal-related mood. In typology, célsejthez is described as a mood marker rather than a tense or aspect marker, often linked to discourse management and the speaker’s stance toward the outcome of an action.

Morphology and semantics: In languages that feature célsejthez, the suffix attaches to the verb to express the speaker's commitment to achieving the goal within the clause. The marker can interact with negation and mood markers, and it may appear as a suffix, clitic, or postposed element depending on the language framework. Its presence tends to foreground intentionality and purpose in the sentence.

Usage and context: In worldbuilding and speculative linguistics, célsejthez is used to convey purposeful action and pragmatic stance, helping to distinguish speaker intention in fictional grammars. In theoretical discussions, it serves as a hypothetical device for examining how discourse alignment and goal orientation interact with argument structure and modality.
