Abstract

The paper is a summary of current computational linguistic research in Hungary aimed at the analysis of large corpora. The pioneering work in the 1950s and 1960s by Ferenc Papp, the reverse alphabetized Dictionary of the Hungarian Language, laid the foundations of a tradition of analysing large textual corpora. Along this path, current work on the Historical Dictionary of Hungarian by J. Pajzs and F. Papp uses statistical approaches for morphological disambiguation. In a comprehensive work by T. Varadi, a large corpus of spoken Hungarian is precessed by methods of computational linguistics. The paper also discusses linguistic approaches to two programming languages: B. Holl6sy employs FoxPro in educational and academic settings for the presentation and analysis of large amounts of linguistic data, and G. Alberti uses a PROLOG implementation to represent and verify a linguistic theory of minimal syntax and maximal lexicon.
