The main focus of the Institute for General and Hungarian Linguistics is basic research in language theory and experimental and Hungarian linguistics: language theory, phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics. Further general goals are the development of spoken language databases and methods supporting the assessment and rehabilitation practices of first language acquisition and development. The tasks of our research groups include research on speech production and speech recognition; discovering the characteristics of spoken communication and infant-directed speech; the systematic description and analysis of the grammar of present-day Hungarian as well as other languages (in the fields of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics); examining the prosody of Hungarian; research into the mentally real parts of language processing; research on first language acquisition and its disorders; examining language dysfunctions associated with various neurodegenerative diseases.
Running the ELTE BTK‒NYTK Theoretical Linguistics Department is a joint mission with the ELTE Faculty of Arts; the task of the Department is to manage the BA, MA and PhD programs in theoretical linguistics.
