Névtudományi ismeretek a magyar nyelvi órán

Abstract

This study discusses how onomastics is used in Hungarian language classes and it provides a brief overview of previous works done in this field. It links onomastics knowledge to grammatical topics and it also presents exercises related to onomastics. The purpose of the study is to show that it is worth leaving some space to onomastics with all the grammatical characteristics and dialectological examples in first language classes, study groups, and extra classes. The study urges topological analyses with digital techniques and thus giving the opportunity to use the Történeti magyar családnévatlasz [Historical atlas of Hungarian family names] (TMCsA.) containing data of the first two national censuses (1715, 1720) and also to generate maps.
