strukturreicher

Strukturreicher is a German comparative adjective derived from strukturreich, meaning that something contains more structure, complexity, or organization than another thing. It is commonly used to describe texts, arguments, designs, systems, datasets, or architectural layouts where multiple layers or elements are arranged in a coherent, hierarchical, or interrelated way. The term implies an abundance of form or organization rather than mere content.

Etymology and form: Strukur is the German word for structure, and reich means rich or full. The comparative form is formed with the suffix -er, yielding strukturreicher. In sentences, the adjective is declined like other German adjectives depending on gender, case, and number.

Usage notes: In attributive position, examples include "ein strukturreicher Text" (nominative masculine singular), "eine strukturreichere Argumentation" (feminine), or "strukturreichere Strukturen" (plural). In predicative use, one might say, "Der Text ist strukturreicher als der andere." In technical or academic contexts, you may encounter phrases such as "strukturreiche Daten" or "strukturreiche Architekturen" to denote complexity and multi-layered organization.

Semantic range: The term can carry a positive connotation (clarity, depth, thoroughness) or a neutral/subjective nuance depending on context. It is often contrasted with "strukturarm" (lacking structure) and with broader concepts like Strukturierung, Struktur und Organisation.
