neinných

Neinných is a term that appears in some linguistic or theoretical discussions as a hypothetical or analytic label rather than a widely recognized dictionary entry. It is formed by combining the negation prefix ne- with the Czech adjective inný, which carries the sense of “other” or “different.” The combination is used in academic contexts to explore how negation interacts with opposition and categorization in Slavic languages.

Etymology and morphology: inný means “other,” “different.” The form inných is the genitive plural in standard Czech. When ne- is prefixed in front of inný in theoretical analyses, the resulting form neinných is treated as a model for discussing negation of the property expressed by inný. Because neinných is not an established lexical item, its use is confined to exposition, examples, and hypothetical contrasts rather than everyday language.

Semantic role and usage: In discussions, neinných can be employed to examine how negating “otherness” affects meaning, stance, or social classification. Analysts may contrast neinný with inný to illustrate how negation shifts focus, emphasis, or the boundaries of category membership. The term helps illuminate how prefixal negation interacts with evaluative or intensional readings in attributive adjectives within Czech and related languages.

Limitations: neinných is not a standard lexical category in contemporary dictionaries and is primarily a theoretical construct. Its interpretation relies on the surrounding context and the analytic purpose of the discussion. When used, it should be clearly framed as a pedagogical or methodological example rather than a common linguistic unit.
