Abstract:

This volume contains selected papers from the 13th International Conference on
the Structure of Hungarian (Budapest, 2017).The contributions address current
issues in Hungarian linguistics, including comparisons with other languages
(e.g., English, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish).

Specifically, the phonetics and phonology papers present experimental and
corpus studies of /h/ voicing, the acoustics of Hungarian word stress, and
vowel harmony in harmonically mixed stems. The papers on syntax and semantics
discuss object agreement and its locality restrictions, equative markers in
German and Hungarian diachronically and synchronically, anaphoric possessor
strategies and definite article distribution, and the semantics of various
aspectual adverbs. Experimental studies of information structure examine the
linear placement of textually given topical constituents post-verbally,
exhaustivity inferences with focus partitioning in German, English and
Hungarian, and contextual factors licensing Hungarian structural focus.

The broad range of topics ensures that this volume will interest scholars of
Hungarian and theoretical linguists more generally.
