lisäsektioiden

Lisäsektioiden is a descriptive Finnish term that refers to sections added to a document beyond its core structure. It is not a fixed category in Finnish style guides; rather, it appears in informal discourse or in translations to indicate supplementary material that accompanies the main text.

Use and purpose. Lisäsektioiden gather material that would clutter the main narrative if included within the primary sections. They function similarly to appendices or addenda in practice, containing detailed data, methodological notes, extended proofs, or clarifications that support the main content without interrupting its flow.

Relationship to liite and lisäosio. In formal Finnish documents, liite (appendix) is the common term for supplementary material. Lisäsektioiden can be seen as a way to describe additional sections within the document’s own numbering, rather than separate attachments. Some guidelines treat lisäsektioiden as routine subsections labeled with continued numbering (for example, 7.1, 7.2) that appear after the core sections.

Formatting and organization. When used, lisäsektioiden should be listed in the table of contents and cross-referenced from the main text. They typically share the same formatting and citation conventions as the main sections to maintain consistency throughout the document.

Content types. Typical contents include data tables, extended methodological details, legal caveats, supplemental figures, translations of key passages, or instruments used in surveys.

Notes. Because lisäsektioiden is not a standardized term in Finnish, it is often clearer to use lisäosio or liite in formal contexts. See also liite, lisäosa, osio.
