kusejuhud

Kusejuhud is a fictional linguistic concept used in constructed languages and speculative fiction to describe how the interpretation of an utterance can depend on the array of usage contexts present in a discourse.

Etymology and origins are unclear; the term appears to be a neologism blending elements associated with usage and contextual cases, and it is not tied to a particular natural language.

Core idea: in kusejuhud, each sentence is associated with one or more usage cases that capture aspects such as speaker intention, audience expectation, and discourse goal. The pragmatic interpretation of the sentence emerges as a function of the relative frequencies and distributions of these usage cases across the conversation.

Typology: primary kusejuhud refer to the most salient context cues that force interpretation; secondary kusejuhud are less obvious contexts that can shift nuance; counterkusejuhud represent conflicting cues that may produce ambiguity.

Applications: used in world-building for conlangs, in narrative technique to explore ambiguity, and in theoretical exercises about how usage-based semantics could operate.

Reception: as a fictional construct, it has no formal standing in mainstream linguistics; it is discussed mainly within hobbyist forums and speculative fiction circles.
