The Central-Transdanubian
Committee, a regional component of the Hungarian Academy
of Sciences, has its seat in Veszprém. Here, the research
group for English Language and Literature regularly holds
scientific meetings where its members can exchange views
on scientific matters and read research papers. The staff
members of the English Department of Kodolányi University
College work in this group.
The
“Free-side” on-line journal gives a cross-section of the
papers read in 2007.
The
literary section contains three papers on modern Canadian
literature, complemented by translations into Hungarian
of modern English poems.
The
theoretical linguistics section contains a paper on phonology
representing the modern linguistic school of optimality,
and a further article about the historical development
of the infinitive.
The
applied linguistics part is quite diverse. It contains
a description of word-order problems from a teaching point
of view; an analysis of methods as to how to teach academic
skills to teacher trainees; a sample of ESP concerning
American legal language and the description of a corpus
based on advertisements of bilingual Australian-Hungarians.
The
editors hope that with this issue a series of English
studies is launched.

"Perhaps, the most popular field where
the cognitive linguistic view of metaphor
can be applied in foreign language teaching
and learning is the study of idiomatic expressions.
The traditional view of idioms is that they
”consist of two or more words and that the
overall meaning of these words cannot be predicted
from the meaning of the constituent words”
(Kövecses, 2002:199). Thus, a certain idiom
is merely a matter of language, an arbitrary
pairing of form and meaning, an entry in the
mental lexicon, with its specific meaning
and syntactic properties, independent of the
other entries. Idioms (e.i., their linguistic
meanings) can stand in the same relationship
with other entries as any non-idiomatic entry
(word or expression): synonymy, antonymy,
homonymy, polysemy."

 "An
imaginative space can define a cultural space,
an identity of a people. This is a space that
is wholly Canadian. What is Canada’s most
valuable possession? It is its boundless space.
Canada consists of a vast terrain that virtually
no single person can, in a lifetime, expect
to know every single part of its far reaching
shores. This results in an unreal land existing
solely in the imagination of its people."

 "We
will start with the original claim that there
are no restrictions or constraints on underlying
representations in Optimality Theory. As a
result, any language may have any kind of
segment or structure in the Lexicon, and it
will be the language-particular ranking of
the universal constraint set, constraint set,
that determines the segment inventory of the
particular language. However, many linguists
have suggested that Richness of the Base is
just an inconvenience which may be quite irrelevant.
If we want to keep to the original assumption
that Richness of the Base is a principle present
in the grammar, then we should set up constraint
set so that it produces possible output forms
independent of the inputs."
¤ Szentgyörgyi, Szilárd UR's in OT
