The series Approaches to Hungarian includes collections of papers on various aspects of the grammar of Hungarian. Started in 1985 at the University of Szeged, the first seven volumes were published by the university's press. Beginning with Volume 4, it has been based on talks presented at the regular international conferences in and outside Hungary on the structure of Hungarian. This current title, Volume 8, contains selected papers of the conference held in May 2001, in Budapest, in honor of the 70th birthday of Ferenc Kiefer. Syntax, semantics and phonology are the three areas represented, and the problems discussed include negation, infinitives in root clauses and person-marked constructions, possessive structures, focus, contrastive topics, positive polarity in disjunctions, superheavy syllables, and phonological ungrammaticality.
