Tính từ

This term is primarily used in academic, technical, or highly formal registers. It describes something that serves as a definitive pattern or a gold standard for a particular category. When used in a general sense, it suggests that a specific instance is so representative of a trend or phenomenon that it can be used to explain the whole system.

In the specialized field of linguistics, the term refers to the vertical relationship between elements of a language. It describes the set of items that can occupy the same slot in a sentence, contrasting with syntagmatic relationships, which describe how words are sequenced horizontally.
