keelepõhised

Keelepõhised is a term used to describe phenomena, methods, or materials that are based on language-specific criteria rather than on universal or non-linguistic factors. In Estonian usage it emphasizes that language properties such as grammar, phonology, morphology, or lexicon form the primary basis for analysis, design, or interpretation.

The concept appears across several fields. In linguistics and language technology, keelepõhised approaches rely on language-specific resources and rules, for example keelepõhised märgendajad and keelepõhised parsereid, which use the particular features of a given language. In natural language processing, keelepõhised mudelid describe models that incorporate language-specific data and structures. In education and language pedagogy, keelepõhised materiaalid or methods tailor content to the grammar and vocabulary of a particular language rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Usage and interpretation can vary with context. Keelepõhised is often contrasted with universal, cross-linguistic, or cognitive approaches, which aim to apply the same principles across languages. Because it is a descriptive descriptor rather than a formal standardized term, its exact meaning depends on the disciplinary context and the specific language being discussed.
