yöntemlerdeki

Yöntemlerdeki is a Turkish phrase formed from the noun yöntem (method) with the plural suffix -ler, the locative suffix -de, and the relative suffix -ki. Together, they produce an attributive adjective meaning “the ones in the methods” or, more commonly, “in the methods” as used to describe a noun that follows. It functions as a modifier that refers to elements located within or related to the methodological part of a text.

In usage, yõntemlerdeki typically precedes a noun, indicating that the described item pertains to the methods section or to the set of methods used in a study. It is commonly found in academic writing, especially in Turkish research articles, theses, and methodological discussions. For example, yõntemlerdeki eksiklikler means “the deficiencies in the methods,” and yõntemlerdeki varsayımlar means “the assumptions in the methods.”

Notes on meaning and scope: Yöntemlerdeki is not a standalone concept but a grammatical construction that anchors a noun to the methodological context. It can refer to features, limitations, assumptions, or conditions inherent to the methods employed, rather than to the methods themselves as a whole. The phrase is versatile across disciplines and can pair with nouns describing limitations, choices, or biases within a study’s methodology.
