Figurative framing, in the form of metaphorical expressions, is especially effective in carrying conceptual content on an issue and affecting public opinion. One topic that has been heavily debated in contemporary Hungarian media is migration. Framing starts with the label that journalists… read more
2022 Onomatopoeia and metonymy Living Metaphors and Metonymies, Brdar, Mario and Rita Brdar-Szabó (eds.), pp. 195–209 | Article
When it comes to onomatopoeia, it is often claimed that such words are the epitome of sound symbolism, as the link between form and meaning is felt to be “natural”. Yet, this is quite far from the case: onomatopoeic words do need to conform to the phonological and morphological restrictions of a… read more

One of the peculiarities of Hungarian is that two of its “basic color terms” (BCTs), as defined by Berlin and Kay (1969), do not conform to the established criteria used to identify such lexical items. By analyzing etymological data and the lexicalization patterns of [N/Adj + color term]… read more

This chapter explores the role that domains play in conceptual metonymy by examining the semantics of metonymical (and metaphorical) noun–noun compounds. It argues that the concept of “domain” is a necessary feature of any definition of metonymy (irrespective of the fact whether “domain” is… read more
2011 Word-formation patterns in a cross-linguistic perspective: Testing predictions for novel object naming in Hungarian and German Converging Evidence: Methodological and theoretical issues for linguistic research, Schönefeld, Doris (ed.), pp. 221–246 | Article
Previous research has shown that novel objects that are merged from two identifiable parts predominantly elicit noun – noun compounds in Germanic languages. However, it is unclear whether Hungarian allows shape/appearance modifiers in noun – noun compounds. Using a novel object naming task we… read more
