April‐June 2010 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume II., Issue 2. _____________________________________________________________________________________ MOLNÁR, Zsolt & MOLNÁRNÉ CZEGLÉDI, Cecília The Creative Hungarian Language and Its Special Teaching Method Part 4. : The Creators and the Word‐Creation 1 In the first part of this series we generally reviewed the essence of the Hungarian language; how it creates the wordbushes from the roots by creators. Now we turn more deeply to the word‐creation process itself. Creators in the Hungarian language The Hungarian language is an agglutinating language. It creates meaning by appending small meaningful elements to the root. Creators provide extra meaning to the original word. They change, modify the meaning of the base, original word, root. Several creators can be appended to the root or word. Quite often, 5‐6‐7 long or even much longer creator‐chains can be built up. The pool of creators contains cca. 28‐30 elementary creators and almost hundred compound creators, but the elementary creators are the base. Creators are also called derivators in linguistics, because they derivate the new meaning from the original meaning of the root or word. We use the creator denomination, because it more faithfully expresses the original Hungarian word for creator: “képző”. Word‐creation: The root or original word is the base, the starting point; the “ovule” in the creating (“derivation”) process, while creators carry the active force, their function is to create new words with new meaning, i.e. to fertilize with their creating power. In the creation process the meaning of the root or original word is fertilized by the meaning force of the creators. When creating words we start with roots. From the root we can build a lot of interconnected words with creators. These words — interconnected in their meaning — constitute a net that we call wordbush. Wordbush is a net of interconnected words, in which every word is built upon the base root of the wordbush. This building procedure is regulated by rules related to creators. The process of building up wordbushes is very logical and systematical. At the first level we append a creator to the root. We have a lot of possibilities, we can choose from the whole pool of creators. On the next level we append a new creator to the root + creator complex, we can choose from the pool of creators again, like in the previous step. Usually we choose a different creator, but sometimes it could happen that we use the same creator as in the previous step. We can continue this creation process as we wish. Practically we do not build very‐ very long creation chains, we stop when we think that the new word describes deeply and precisely what 1 Authors´ homepage is: http://www.tisztamagyarnyelv.hu/ _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001‐2010 95
