Abstract

The study of varieties of Hungarian spoken beyond the state borders goes back to several decades now. One tool of research, especially that of the word stock of those varieties, is the Termini Hungarian–Hungarian dictionary edited and published by the Termini Research Network of the Hungarian Language and listing specific lexical items of contact varieties of Hungarian in the Carpathian Basin (at the moment, almost 5000 entries). The paper presents sample entries to represent the structure and principles of operation of that special dictionary and reveals the editorial principles that have led to the construction of the dictionary and the makeup of the individual entries.
