tabellarischem

Tabellarisch is an adjective in German that means “in tabular form” or “arranged like a table.” It describes information presented in a structured, column-and-row format rather than as continuous prose. The word is formed from the noun Tabelle (table) with the suffix -isch, yielding a term that is widely used in academic, scientific, and technical writing.

Grammatical notes: tabellarisch has inflected forms to match gender, number, and case. The dative singular form is tabellarischem, as in mit tabellarischem Datenmaterial or dem tabellarischen Ergebnis. Other common forms are tabellarischer (masculine nominative), tabellarische (feminine and plural), and tabellarisches (neuter nominative/accusative). In practice, tabellarisch is most often used attributively or in participial phrases, e.g., eine tabellarische Darstellung, eine tabellarische Auflistung, or tabellarisch gegliederte Daten.

Usage and sense: Tabellarisch is predominantly used to describe how information is organized rather than to describe the content itself. It signals a concise, itemized presentation that facilitates comparison and quick reference. It is common in research reports, statistical summaries, data tables, and methodological sections. Phrases such as “tabellarische Darstellung der Ergebnisse” or “tabellarische Auflistung der Merkmale” are standard.

Relation to other terms: Tabellarisch is related to forms like tabellarische Gliederung or tabellarisch gegliedert. It can be contrasted with narrative or text-based presentation styles and is sometimes preferred when precision, replicability, and ease of data comparison are prioritized.
