LaÂjos Cs. Nagy: Some of the Results and FurÂther DirecÂtions of MedÂvesalÂja VocabÂuÂlary Research
The author in this study introÂduces the process and the result of lexÂiÂcoÂlogÂiÂcal research made in MedÂvesalÂja and its surÂroundÂing (SÅ‘reg, AjnácÂskÅ‘, CseÂviÂce, GömöralmáÂgy, Dobfenek, GömörÂpéterÂfala, Óbást, EgyÂházasÂbást [=Újbást], BaÂkóÂháÂza, VecÂsekÂlÅ‘, MedÂveshidegkút, Tajti). The basis of the study is from the 1162 quesÂtions of The Atlas of HunÂgarÂiÂan Dialects answeres given on 617 quesÂtions of lexÂiÂcal charÂacÂter as lanÂguage data. In order to ensure the comÂpareÂness of the data, durÂing terÂrain work, the author adhered to th quesÂtions of the atlas.
AccordÂing to a corÂpus part (cca 40 thouÂsand data) selectÂed from the dataÂbase comÂprisÂing approx. 80 thouÂsand data, the basic quesÂtion was how a region’s speakÂing comÂmuÂniÂty names idenÂtiÂcal conÂcepÂtionÂs, from qualÂiÂtaÂtive and quanÂtiÂtaÂtive point of view what charÂacÂterÂisÂtics lexÂeÂmas have. The author analysed the data clasÂsiÂfyÂing them by conÂcepÂtionÂs. From the point of view of genÂerÂal diviÂsion, and lexÂiÂcal diviÂsion, the author comÂpares namÂing sysÂtems in MedÂvesalj with the research point data of the areas in the atlas, 3 HunÂgarÂiÂan (H–6: KarancÂslaÂpuÂjtÅ‘, H–7: Bárna and H–10: BorÂsodÂszentÂgyörÂgy), and 3 SloÂvak (Cssz–17: Bolyk, Cssz–18: MagÂyarhÂeÂgymeg and Cssz–19: Zsip).
The author outÂlines the furÂther oriÂenÂtaÂtion of the research, since the dialect corÂpus comÂprisÂing of 80 thouÂsand can launch furÂther numerÂous researchÂes. The rich mateÂriÂal can be a basis for social linÂguisÂtic examÂiÂnaÂtion, modÂiÂfiÂcaÂtion research, prepaÂraÂtion of lanÂguage atlases, comÂplete semanÂtics motiÂvaÂtion examÂiÂnaÂtion, etc. LaÂjos Cs. Nagy conÂsidÂers the most imporÂtant task to be the prepaÂraÂtion of the lanÂguage atlas. ObviÂousÂly, addiÂtionÂal colÂlecÂtion is necÂcesÂsary to make this. Such mateÂriÂal would enable to write a relÂaÂtiveÂly comÂplete dialecÂtoÂlogÂiÂcal monogÂraÂphy.
