About this book

This is the first comprehensive account of Hungarian stress and intonation to appear in English. The emphasis is on description, but a large number of theoretical issues are also dealt with in an original way. Hungarian is a Uralic or Finno-Ugric language spoken by over thirteen million people in Central Europe. The study of its stress and intonation will be of special interest to intonationists, phonologists, Hungarian language specialists, and their students at intermediate level and above.

About the author

LÁSZLÓ VARGA is Professor of Linguistics at the English Linguistics Department at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, and a well-known scholar of Hungarian intonation.
