jäsennettävästä

Jäsennettävä refers to a concept in Finnish linguistics and grammar that describes a linguistic unit that can be broken down into smaller, meaningful parts. This unit is typically a word or a phrase, and its internal structure can be analyzed to understand the relationships between its constituent elements. The process of identifying these parts and their functions is called jäsentäminen, or analysis.

In the context of morphology, jäsennettävä often applies to inflected words. For instance, a Finnish verb like "juoksentelisinkohan" can be analyzed into its stem ("juoks-"), derivational suffixes ("-entel-"), inflectional suffixes ("-isi-", "-n-"), and clitics ("-ko", "-han"). Each of these parts contributes to the overall meaning and grammatical function of the word. Similarly, noun phrases can be considered jäsennettävä, where prepositions, adjectives, and the noun itself form a unit with a discernible internal structure.

The concept of jäsennettävä is crucial for understanding Finnish word formation and sentence structure. It allows linguists to systematically describe the building blocks of language and how they combine to create complex meanings. This analytical approach is fundamental to grammatical description and is applied in various linguistic studies, including lexicography, syntax, and language acquisition research. The ability to identify and analyze the constituent parts of a linguistic unit is a core skill in linguistic analysis.
