Syntax of Hungarian: a new comprehensive series is to be published
Change language:
A new syntax series is launched about the Hungarian language in English as the result of a collaboration between 5 prestigious universities and the MTA (Hungarian Academy of Sciences). The series about the Hungarian syntax, which is troublesome for many, may show how developed the Hungarian linguistics is, and may also popularise the language, reports Beol.hu and Infostart.hu.
While several publications have appeared about such Indo-European langages as English, French, Dutch, Swedish or Russian, it is important to note that these are widely-spoken languages in countries where the financial background for such publications is also given, reports István Kenesei, Hungarian linguist and editor-in-chief of the new series.
/en.aup.nl/The Hungarian language can be interesting for researchers because, in the last 50-60 years, a number of publications have documented it. The 1st out of the eight volumes of the series, the editors of which are Gábor Alberti and Tibor Laczkó, is called Nouns and Noun Phrases, and it is already available in bookstores. This volume is composed of 2 volumes, altogether 1257 pages, and is published by the Amsterdam University Press. Thanks to the MTA, both volumes of the 1st volume are available here for free.

The comprehensive work can help find the place of the Hungarian language in the world as it is not like any other languages and is not related to any other cultures or nations.
