Syntax of Hungarian

These books aim to present a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of the Hungarian language, rooted in theory but providing highly detailed descriptions, and intended to be of use to researchers, as well as advanced students of language and linguistics. As research in language leads to extensive changes in our understanding and representations of grammar, the Comprehensive Grammar Resources series intends to present the most current understanding of grammar and syntax as completely as possible in a way that will both speak to modern linguists and serve as a resource for the non-specialist.

Gábor Alberti (DSc) is a professor at the University of Pécs, where he is head of the Department of Linguistics, and the Theoretical, Computer and Cognitive Linguistics Research Group called ReALIS. He was also the head of the Pécs Doctoral School of Linguistics for 5 years. Besides generative linguistics, he has specialized in lexical semantics and logic based formal pragmasemantic approaches. Tibor Laczkó is Associate Professor and Chair at the Department of English Linguistics, and Director of the Institute of English and American Studies at the University of Debrecen.
