suffixenként

Suffixenként is a Hungarian adverb that translates to "by suffix" or "per suffix" in English. It refers to the act of examining or processing something in terms of its individual suffixes. This concept is particularly relevant in linguistic analysis and computational processing of language.

In linguistics, analyzing a word "suffixenként" involves breaking it down into its root and its various suffixes, understanding the grammatical or semantic function of each suffix. For example, in the Hungarian word "házakban" (in houses), analyzing it suffixenként would reveal the root "ház" (house), the plural suffix "-ak", and the locative case suffix "-ban". This method helps in understanding word formation, grammatical structure, and the evolution of language.

In computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), processing text "suffixenként" can be a strategy for tasks like stemming or lemmatization, although it's not the most common approach. Stemming often involves removing common suffixes to arrive at a root form of a word. A more sophisticated analysis might involve recognizing and categorizing suffixes to determine the word's part of speech, tense, or other grammatical features. The term implies a systematic, itemized consideration of each suffix attached to a word.
