The present opening of the conference on Loránd Benkő’s scholarly oeuvre emphasizes his epoch-marking achievements in the research of Hungarian language history. Benkő paid attention to the smallest data with philological accuracy, while he concentrated on, and presented with colleagues, a large-scale and detailed synthesis of the totality of the history of the Hungarian language. The conference, held on the centenary of Benkő’s birthday, has a double perspective, viewed from the relationship between experience and expectations, in Koselleck’s sense. On the one hand, the presentations reconstruct Benkő’s historical perspective, determined by his own experiences and scholarly knowledge. On the other hand, the talks set up the present-day perspectives on how Benkő’s scholarly oeuvre influences post-millennial Hungarian linguistics. Both perspectives focus on the linguistic past in a scholarly framework, but look at the future, too.
