Abstract

The present review article provides a critical assessment of the first cognitively-based, comprehensive, largely corpus-based survey of the major grammatical phenomena of present-day Hungarian. Central issues in the approach are the schema-based nature of each of the levels, components of grammatical representation, with special emphasis devoted to discussing and interpreting the overall functional role of meaning construction as well as that of the complexity of interface relations. The latter relations act on the operation of the whole of the functional system, the makeup of the grammar, the phenomena of the representation of which are coherently described and discussed in this handbook of seminal importance for the historiography of Hungarian grammatology.
