dokoneného

Dokoneného is a proposed linguistic term used to describe a grammatical category that encodes the state of having completed an action or state. The term derives from the Slavic adjective dokonený, meaning completed, together with the genitive suffix -ého, producing the genitive singular form dokoneného.

Meaning and function: In the proposed analysis, dokoneného behaves like a nominalized past participle that marks the referent as the result of completion. It typically appears in genitive attribute constructions, where it modifies a head noun phrase. This use emphasizes the resultant state rather than the process of completion. For example, phrases such as stav dokoneného projektu (the state of the completed project) or objekt dokoneného plánu (the object of the completed plan) show how dokoneného conveys status resulting from completion.

Distribution and notes: The form is primarily discussed in theoretical discussions of Slavic grammar and is not widely codified in standard grammars. It is sometimes used in cross-linguistic comparisons of how languages encode perfectivity and resultant states. Some scholars treat dokoneného as an illustration of how genitive-attributive constructions can encode state rather than action.
