raamistikes

Ramistikes is a term used in Estonian-language scholarship to denote the set of frameworks, structures, and boundaries that shape how information is presented and interpreted. The term stems from raamit meaning frames and denotes frameworks that condition perception in discourse, research, and design.

In literature and storytelling, raamistikes refer to framing devices or frame narratives that situate a main narrative within a broader context or are narrated by a framing voice. They influence tone, reliability, and interpretation by delimiting perspective and scope.

In media, politics, and communication studies, raamistikes describe the cognitive and cultural frames through which audiences understand issues. Framing effects arise when the same information is presented within different raamistikes, leading to different judgments or attitudes.

In research and theory building, raamistike are the theoretical or methodological frames that define the questions asked, the data considered, and the conclusions drawn. A clear raamistiks clarifies assumptions, boundaries, and relationships among concepts.
