The Acquisition of English Restrictive Relative Clauses by Hungarian Learners of English
"The present work uses the standard version of principles and parameters theory of Universal Grammar to address second language acquisition issues. It is assumed that comparative analysis of Hungarian and English based on the model enables the researcher to formulate precise and testable questions and the empirical research provides reliable answers." "The investigated area is the acquisition of English restrictive relative clauses by L1 Hungarian learners of L2 English. This area of grammar causes problems: most of these are proficiency-determined, but there are some which are observable even at fairly advanced levels. In the given framework it is postulated that some properties of paramete...
The Reality of the Unreal
In the nineteenth century the great cities underwent the most conspicuous transformation. The beauties and the dark side of urban existence soon came to be one of the central issues in contemporary literature and art. In The Reality of the Unreal, the works of four great English writers of the time are analyzed, with the focus on their representation of the city. Through the concrete image of London and Paris around the turn of the century as well as through the metaphorical role of the city as a concept, this booka new volume in the Philosophiae Doctores seriesprovides differing views about the age, as seen by H. G. Wells, George Gissing, Joseph Conrad, and Henry James. The books analysis arrives at the complex image of civilization at the end of the nineteenth century.
Papers from the 2007 New York Conference
This volume brings together ten papers, all presented at the 8th International Conference on the Structure of Hungarian (New York City, 2007), addressing a wide range of topics in the morphology, phonetics, phonology, pragmatics, semantics, and syntax of Hungarian, with discussion of related facts in other languages as well. The volume includes an analysis of the morphophonology of the infinitival suffix in Optimality Theory, a plea for a phonetically-grounded theory of phonology based on partial neutralization of the "v/f" contrast, a Government Phonology account of vowel/zero alternations, a discussion of the recursive nature of speech prosody, a context-structure perspective on the pragma...
Democracy and Deficits
"The persistence of fiscal imbalances in advanced and emerging economies alike belies the expectations of early globalization theorists about a worldwide convergence of macroeconomic policies. Using a political economy perspective the book aims to identify the main factors, which are responsible for this lasting divergence. Based on qualitative and quantitative evidence from the European Union with case studies on Hungary and Sweden, it finds that the level of public trust in the political system and the capacity of the elite for consensus critically affect nationstates' prospects for fiscal sustainability."--BOOK JACKET.
The Phonology of Hungarian
This is the first comprehensive account of the segmental phonology of Hungarian in English. Part I introduces the general features of the language. Part II examines its vowel and consonant systems, and its phonotactics (syllable structure constraints, transsyllabic constraints, and morpheme structure constraints). Part III describes the phonological processes that vowels, consonants, and syllables undergo and/or trigger. The authors provide a new analysis of vowel harmony as well as discussions of vowel length alternations, palatalization, voice assimilation, and processes targeting nasals and liquids. The final chapters cover processes conditioned by syllable structure, and briefly describe a selection of surface phenomena. This authoritative account of the sound pattern of this unique language will interest phonologists and advanced students throughout the world.
