Abstract:
|
|
|
This dissertation provides a full and comprehensive linguistic description of Hungarian inflectional morphology following the questionnaire of the Lingua Descriptive Studies series (later continued as the Routledge Descriptive Grammars). As the available treatments of Hungarian morphology in English are not descriptive but theoretical, written with the purpose of providing accounts of Hungarian morphology in various theoretical linguistic models, and the existing descriptive morphologies are written in Hungarian for native speakers of Hungarian, the present description fills a need for a descriptive inflectional morphology accessible to non-native speakers of Hungarian. By following the Lingua Questionnaire and thus by systematizing grammatical phenomena around functions, rather than around forms (like traditional grammars of Hungarian), it provides grammatical information organized in such a way that the functions of the various details of Hungarian inflection become more distinct and apparent. It also presents linguistic information in such a framework that, together with other descriptions in the Lingua and Routledge series, it can be used effectively in work on language universals, language typology, and comparative linguistics.
