This report outlines Hungarian activities in geodesy for the period January 2003 to December 2006. It has been prepared for submission to the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) at its General Assembly in Perugia, Italy during the XXIVth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) on July 2–13, 2007. It is issued on behalf of the IAG Section of the Hungar...

Hungarian is the stereotype of morphologically rich and free word order languages. Here, we introduce magyarlanc, a natural language toolkit developed for the linguistic preprocessing – segmentation, morphological analysis, POS-tagging and dependency parsing – of Hungarian texts. We hope that the free availability of the toolkit fosters the research not just on the Hungarian language but on all...

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 sy...

The 2012 Public Act on Education in Hungary made daily physical education (PE) a mandatory part of the school day starting in the 2012-2013 school year. This directive was linked to a significant reorganization of the Hungarian education system including a new National Core Curriculum that regulates the objectives and contents of PE. The Hungarian School Sport Federation (HSSF) recognized the o...

The goal of a Hungarian research project has been to create an integrated Hungarian natural language processing framework. This infrastructure includes tools for analyzing Hungarian texts, integrated into a standardized environment. The morphological analyzer is one of the core components of the framework. The goal of this paper is to describe a fast and customizable morphological analyzer and ...

This paper aims to make up for the lack of documented baselines for Hungarian language modeling. Various approaches are evaluated on three publicly available Hungarian corpora. Perplexity values comparable to models of similar-sized English corpora are reported. A new, freely downloadable Hungarian benchmark corpus is introduced.

Preverbal focus in Hungarian has been argued to be more exhaustive or exhaustive in a distinguished way as compared to what has been generally called prosodic focus in languages like English or German. In virtually all analysis it has been assumed that the reason for this property of Hungarian focus is related to its immediately preverbal syntactic position. This effect has thus been derived co...

Tobacco smoking became an important marker of Hungarian national identity during the nineteenth century. this national symbol ultimately had an economic origin: Hungarian tobacco producers resisted the tobacco monopoly of the Habsburg central government, and led an ultimately successful consumer boycott of Austrian products. Tobacco nationalism, however, became a common theme in Hungarian popul...
