lisäisimmet

Lisäisimmet are a type of supplementary material or footnotes used in academic and literary works, especially in Finnish and Swedish language texts. The term is derived from the Finnish word "lisäys", meaning "addition" or "supplement".

In academic writing, lisäisimmet are used to provide additional information, explanations, or elaborations that are not essential to the main text. They are often placed at the bottom of a page, after the main body of text, and are usually indicated by a footnote or endnote number. Lisäisimmet can contain a wide range of information, including references to other works, explanations of technical terms, or additional analysis of a particular point.

In literary works, such as novels and poetry collections, lisäisimmet are sometimes used to provide additional context or background information on characters, events, or historical periods. They can also be used to elaborate on themes, motifs, or other literary devices used in the text.

The use of lisäisimmet allows authors to provide detailed information and explanations without disrupting the flow of the main text. It also enables readers to access additional information and insights without having to consult separate sources.

The practice of using lisäisimmet is common in many academic and literary traditions, particularly in the Nordic countries. While the use of lisäisimmet may vary across different genres and disciplines, their purpose remains the same: to provide supplementary information and insights that enhance the understanding and appreciation of a text.
