Title
2017 Chapter 1. Internal-scope taking arguments in the information structure of deverbal nominals in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 15: Papers from the 2015 Leiden Conference, Hulst, Harry van der and Anikó Lipták (eds.), pp. 1–33 | Chapter
The paper claims that the syntax of Hungarian is so extremely transparent from a pragmasemantic point of view that certain (complex-event-related) deverbal nominal constructions can have an internal information structure consisting of internal-scope taking dependents. The scope-semantic source of… read more
2015 Arguments for arguments in the complement zone of the Hungarian nominal head Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 14: Papers from the 2013 Piliscsaba Conference, Kiss, Katalin É., Balázs Surányi and Éva Dékány (eds.), pp. 5–36 | Article
This paper argues that a Hungarian nominal head may have a phonetically non-empty complement zone — if certain “felicity conditions” are satisfied.

2004 Climbing for aspect: with no rucksack Verb Clusters: A study of Hungarian, German and Dutch, Kiss, Katalin É. and Henk van Riemsdijk (eds.), pp. 253–289 | Article
The focus domain of is ‘also’ and its synonyms in finite and deverbal constructions in Hungarian Journal of Uralic Linguistics: Online-First Articles | Article
Establishing the intonational focus sensitivity of the Hungarian additive particle is ‘also’, Balogh & Langer (2022) paves the way for a systematic investigation of additive-focus expressions in Hungarian based on Lambrecht’s (1994) framework. Although it distinguishes a narrow focus and a broad… read more
