Approaches to Hungarian 9. jellemzők

Volume nine of the series Approaches to Hungarian presents papers from the Sixth International Conference on the Structure of Hungarian (ICSH-6) held at Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf, Germany, on 12-13 September 2002.
The topics discussed include a conception of morphology in which every morpheme is treated as a lexical item; the behavior of /j/, /v/, and /h/ with respect to voicing assimilation; an analysis of verbal particles in which their presence or absence is determined by the event structure of the sentence; two types of long-distance focus-raising in Hungarian; a new typology of question words in terms of Functional Grammar; problems for a purely stress-driven account of focus movement; an analysis of complex event nominals accounting for their striking clausal properties; various conversion phenomena in Hungarian; an analysis of the linking properties of nominalizations and participles in Lexical Functional Grammar; single and multiple wh-fronting; an optimality-theoretic analysis of the distribution and behavior of H-type segments; the issue whether Hungarian has portmanteau agreement; and past tense suffixation discussed in terms of the principle of contrast and the principle of uniformity of paradigmatically related inflected forms.
