The 20th century has brought interesting changes in the humanities. Comparative-Historical Linguistics has reached its peak, and the paradigm framework has begun to come apart. Today we can see the following tendency: the main trends – at least for a while – have been taken over by formal theories: structuralism and generativism. The mainstream of Hungarian linguistics belonged to the German lineage and tried to connect to the trends established by Saussure and Chomsky. The functional-contrastive approach has been neglected for a long time, but it is finally leading to a definitively cognitive approach. A very important incubator of this development was the Institute for Hungarian Language in Berlin. My paper focuses on its activity in the light of scientific articles in the journal “Ungarische Jahrbücher”.
