lausekonteissa

Lausekonteissa is a Finnish adverbial expression meaning "in sentence contexts" or "within clauses." It is used when discussing how words, constructions or meanings behave specifically inside sentences or clauses, as opposed to in isolation, in phrases, or in discourse-level contexts.

In linguistic description, lausekonteissa appears in analyses of syntax, case marking, agreement, word order and subordination: for example, a particular form may be common in nominal phrases but rare lausekonteissa. In language teaching and grammar discussion the phrase helps distinguish sentence-internal patterns from broader pragmatic or textual phenomena.

The expression is also encountered in computational linguistics and natural language processing when describing features that arise during parsing or sentence-level annotation. Its usage is typically descriptive and context-dependent rather than terminological: authors use it to specify the domain of applicability of an observation (that is, that the observation holds when the item occurs inside a sentence).

Related concepts include lause (sentence/clause), konteksti (context), syntaksi (syntax) and lauseoppi (clause grammar). An illustrative Finnish example: "Tämä muoto esiintyy lausekonteissa harvoin" (This form rarely occurs in sentence contexts).
