tijdsuitgebreide

Tijdsuitgebreide is a Dutch adjective used to describe something that has been extended or elaborated in the time dimension. The term is formed from tijd, meaning time, and uitgebreide, meaning extended or broadened. It is generally considered a neologism and is not widely attested in standard Dutch dictionaries, being more likely to appear in specialized or experimental texts.

Because it is not a common term, tidsuitgebreide is typically found in contexts where the temporal scope is deliberately lengthened beyond a baseline. It may be used in discussions of narrative technique, research design, planning, or data analysis to indicate that the temporal horizon has been expanded. For example, a tijdsuitgebreide onderzoeksperiode could refer to a study conducted over a longer span of years than originally planned, and a tijdsuitgebreide chronologie might describe a chronology that extends beyond a standard timeline.

In practice, tidsuitgebreide is often replaced by more established phrases such as tijdsverlenging, tijdsduur, or verlengde tijd, depending on the precise sense intended (extension, duration, or horizon). Its usage tends to be meta or descriptive, signaling a deliberate manipulation of time as a dimension in theory or method rather than describing an everyday phenomenon.

Related concepts include tijdsduur (duration), tijdverlenging (extension of time), chronologie (chronology), and planning (planning). As a relatively new or regional term, tidsuitgebreide is best understood from its specific textual context.
