1994, Hungarian Linguistics Institute
The aim of this study is to provide an autosegmental description of Hungarian morphology. Chapter
1 sketches the (meta)theoretical background and summarizes the main argument. In Chapter 2
phonological prerequisites to morphological analysis are discussed. Special attention is paid to
Hungarian vowel harmony. In Chapter 3 a universal theory of lexical categories is proposed, and the
category system of Hungarian is described within it. The final chapter presents a detailed description
of nominal and verbal inflection in Hungarian, and describes the main features of a computer
implementation based on the analyses provided here.
