lingvistiniuose

Lingvistiniuose is the plural locative form of the Lithuanian adjective lingvistinis, meaning linguistic. It is used to modify plural nouns in the locative case, indicating a location or context within the field of linguistics, such as in discussions about linguistic studies or contexts.

In Lithuanian grammar, adjectives decline by gender, number, and case. The plural locative ending for masculine and feminine adjectives is typically -iuose. Combining this with the stem lingvistin- yields lingvistiniuose, which then accompanies plural nouns in the locative plural. This form signals that the described objects or concepts pertain to or occur within linguistic contexts.

Usage examples, common in academic writing, include phrases like lingvistiniuose kontekstuose (in linguistic contexts) and lingvistiniuose tyrimuose (in linguistic studies). The construction is a standard way to situate discourse, data, or observations within the discipline of linguistics without specifying a particular noun.

The term illustrates how Lithuanian adjectives align with noun phrases across cases and numbers. Lingvistiniai, the base adjective, has related forms such as lingvistinė (feminine singular), lingvistinis (masculine singular), and lingvistiniai (plural nominative). The locative plural lingvistiniuose is one of several case forms used to express location or context in descriptive writing.
