lingvistiske

Lingvistiske is an adjective used in Norwegian and Danish to mean related to linguistics, the scientific study of language. It is used to describe aspects, methods, data, or theories within the field of linguistics. The form agrees with the noun it modifies; for singular nouns the form lingvistisk is typical (for example, lingvistisk forskning), while lingvistiske is common with plural or with certain noun phrases (for example, lingvistiske analyser, lingvistiske metoder).

Etymology and relationship to the field: the word derives from linguistics, itself from Latin lingua meaning tongue or language, via French linguistique and related European terms. The term reflects the scholarly vocabulary shared by Scandinavian languages in describing language science.

Usage and scope: lingvistiske appears across academic writing, teaching, and discourse about language studies. It can describe the aims, data, methods, or conclusions of linguistic work, and is often paired with subfields such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, and computational linguistics. For example, one might refer to lingvistiske data collected from fieldwork, or to lingvistiske teorier that attempt to explain language variation.
