👉 In linguistics, "authigenetic" refers to a type of word structure in which the subject and predicate are adjacent. This is often used in the context of noun phrases or adjectives that form parts of speech (like nouns in English). It can also refer to a specific type of syntactic structure in which words combine in such a way that they are not simply connected by a verb, but rather by other elements like prepositions, conjunctions, or other grammatical structures.
