A tulajdonnevek a gyermeki nyelvelsajátításban

The majority of onomastic research centres around the proper names of adults. Works on general name theory contain a few hypotheses in connection with the acquisition of the first proper names. The first section of the paper overviews the results achieved by the research of children’s language acquisition with respect to acquiring personal names. The acquisition of other name types, such as place names is a much longer process, which has not been examined in depth by either psychology or onomastics to date. Psychological research focuses on spatial orientation, the cerebral localization of space-related information, the linguistic representation of spatial relations and the childhood development of these capacities. Factors, such as how wider geographical surroundings are divided, or how place names are acquired by children are not examined thoroughly. To gain insight into the initial phases of these processes, the author follows their development in two infants’ knowledge of place names. The early meanings of place names are typically not fully generalized: the name of a town or a street is understood and used by the infants to refer to a house. At this age, infants connect place names to specific persons. In infants, the concept of places (what is a town?, what is a street?) is not completely formed, this leads to semantic discrepancies. For them, spatial elements are not the individual entities of their surroundings. Besides the peculiarities of the earliest appearance of place names, the paper also observes the early use of geographical common nouns and the development of spatial orientation.

Research into the mountain names of historical Hungary has been a neglected area of Hungarian Onomastics to date. However, mountains as important objects of the natural environment have significantly influenced the development of both settlement structure and settlement names for centuries. The results of the author’s research into the names for mountains and those for settlements in the area of four former, northeast counties (Bereg, Máramaros, Ugocsa and Ung) suggest that several minor settlements were named by way of borrowing mountain names – especially in Máramaros County. These peripheral populated places were usually established on mountainsides, thus easily adopted the names of the mountains themselves. Different types of mountain names were involved in the process. Most settlement names were formed from mountain names that were derived from suffixless geographical common nouns through a semantic split. Two-constituent mountain names, however, rarely served as bases for settlement names. Only few Hungarian names can be found among the mountain names of the observed region, as in the Middle Ages the highlands in question were inhabited by Ruthenians and Romanians, while Hungarians mostly settled flat areas. As a result, settlement names formed from mountain names of Hungarian origin were also rare in the four counties mentioned above.
Egy józsefvárosi bérház női cselédeinek keresztnevei a 19–20. században

The paper discusses the 19th–20th-century first names of female servants in an apartment building in Budapest compared to the female first names used by the families that employed them. Sources were register books listing the inhabitants of the building between 1899 and 1947. Female servants arrived to the capital from over 40% of the counties in the country at the time, while families employing them were mostly from Budapest. The most frequent first names in the register books coincide with the top 10 percent of first names in the country-wide statistics of the era. The assumption that mainly young unmarried female servants were listed in the register books by hypocoristic names has clearly not been justified. A comparison of the first names of the female servants and those of the female members of their employers’ families displays the approximate similarity of the most frequent first names. Differences between the two name stocks can only be observed with respect to female servants’ informal nicknames. The final conclusion of the paper is that first names borne exclusively by female servants did not exist.
Írói névadási tendenciák és stratégiák Kosztolányi Dezső novellái alapján
Authors: Páji Gréta
Published: September 2023

When examining Kosztolányi’s short stories, as in the case of his novels, great importance should be attached to names and to comments made on names. Three distinct name giving strategies can be observed in Kosztolányi’s short stories, which, at the same time, can also be used as bases for comparison of the tendencies in name giving and name use in texts of different genres by the same author. Besides namelessness – which itself may fulfil different functions – two other tendencies seem to be relevant. One strategy uses the appellative meaning of the name as a stylistic and story organizing element; the other strategy relies on the basic and well-practised knowledge the reader has of names and name use, focusing attention directly without long explanations. The author emphasizes the well-known fact that names and name choice play an essential role in Kosztolányi’s works.
Földrajzi nevek a közigazgatásban

Published: September 2023

The paper reviews the areas in which public administration plays or should play a role in the formation, registration or the appropriate use of geographical names, mentioning the relevant legal environment. Illustrative name examples taken from the registers of the central areas or the outskirts of populated places (parts of settlements, addresses), national parks, rivers and caves show that the linguistic-orthographic or cultural aspects of establishing geographical names, or deciding the spelling of name forms – and because of which government regulations require the cooperation of an expert body in the name giving process – are not applicable in all cases. The author also discusses the spread of and dangers connect to the superficial use or abuse of geographical names in the digital world. The author emphasizes that the appropriate and standardized use of geographical names is, in fact, a common interest in many fields of life, and could also be effectively promoted by public administration.

Methods of statistical analysis used in dialectometry and place name geography are similar to each other in several aspects; the results of the analyses in both cases are matrices showing the (dis)similarities of data collected in different settlements. Thus, the two types of analysis are comparable. As a result of the fact that both dialect data and the systems of place names are strongly connected to the community of their users, the authors hypothesised a correlation between the results of the two methods. This was tested by examining data from the dialect atlas entitled A magyar nyelvjárások atlasza (‘Atlas of Hungarian Dialects’), which offers the data of 39 settlements in Vas and Zala Counties, and from the volumes of Vas megye földrajzi nevei (‘Geographical Names of Vas County’) (1982) and Zala megye földrajzi nevei (‘Geographical Names of Zala County’) (1964). However, the hypothesis, only proved to be true in the case of a few settlements; most results suggested that there was no significant correspondence between dialectometric and toponymetric similarity matrices. The authors identified only five settlements in the case of which Pearson’s correlation index was around 0.5, when comparing the values of dialectometric and toponymetric matrices. In general, dialectal and name analysis showed greater homogeneity in northern than in southern settlements. In the future, research involving large areas would be advisable, as correlation between large geographical distances, and significant dialectic and onomatic differencesis to be expected; it is also worth considering new methods in onomastic analysis.
A Magyar Nemzeti Helynévtárról
Authors: Mikesy Gábor
Published: September 2023

The online database entitled The Hungarian National Toponym Registry (http://mnh.unideb.hu) offers historical and contemporary toponymic datasets to researchers and the general public. The paper puts forward a number of critical remarks in connection with the modern toponymic dataset, focusing on place names that can be searched and projected onto maps in the unit of the database known as the Hungarian Digital Toponym Registry (http://mdh.unideb.hu/ujkorihelynevtar.php). The main arguments are: 1) it is doubtful that the contents of the website satisfy the social expectations generated by the title of the database; 2) the concept of toponymic fieldwork concentrating thoroughly on settlements excludes important toponymic categories from cataloguing; 3) source criticism should be exercised when gazetteers with place names collected locally are concerned; 4) the Hungarian Digital Toponym Registry includes arbitrarily transformed name forms; 5) considering the number of philological, orthographic and geographic inaccuracies, the social utility of general public access to the project in its present phase is questionable.
Megjegyzések kétnyelvű magyarok hely- és személyneveiről
Authors: Kontra Miklós
Published: September 2023

The paper deals with two topics the author believes receive too little attention in Hungarian onomastics: (a) the role of power, violence and Linguistic Human Rights, and (b) the linguistically ignorant and socially irresponsible ways often characteristic of Hungarian bureaucrats when dealing with minority Hungarians applying for Hungarian citizenship or wishing to cast ballots in a referendum in Hungary. In Slovakia in the first half of the 1990s, serious attempts were made to cleanse historical Hungarian place names by only permitting the use of either the Hungarian transliteration of a Slovak name (e.g. Dunajská Streda → Dunajszká Sztreda) or of the Hungarian calque of the Slovak name. Attempts to suppress historical Hungarian names, resulted in, for instance, Dunaszerda ‘Danube + Wednesday’ rather than Dunaszerdahely ‘Danube + Wednesday + place’. The goal of this policy was to sever the connection between the local Hungarian population and the historical name of the city (Dunaszerdahely) they live in. Since 1st January 2011, ethnic Hungarians in several of Hungary’s neighbouring countries have been able to apply for Hungarian citizenship. The differences between naming traditions in Hungary and Ukraine (e.g. Latin vs. Cyrillic script, mother’s maiden name vs. patronymic name on a birth certificate, obligatory Slavicization of Hungarian names in the Soviet Union, etc.) often lead to serious difficulties for bureaucrats in Hungary, who may receive allegedly “expert” but in fact misguided advice. During a Hungarian referendum in October 2016, Hungarian bureaucrats who underestimated cultural differences wanted members of the Hungarian minority with dual citizenship to fill out a written form which contained anyja neve ‘(What is your) mother’s maiden name?’ This resulted in thousands of ballots cast in Ukraine being dubbed legally invalid due to a failure to respond to the question, or because a name different from that in Hungarian documents from Hungary was given.
A középkori várnevek keletkezéstörténeti vizsgálata
Authors: Kovács Helga
Published: September 2023

The paper discusses the characteristic features of the formation of medieval names for castles, drawn from a systematic linguistic analysis of these based on István Hoffmann’s multi-criteria typology of names (1993, 1999). A descriptive analysis explores name structures. An analysis of the history of name formation enumerates the ways in which name forms are constituted or changed. The paper focuses on the latter aspect, thus observes the linguistic rules governing the formation of new names and their insertion into the existing name stock. The analysis clarifies that almost two-thirds of the medieval names for castles were created by way of semantic name formation (i.e. an existing lexeme was given a new, toponymic meaning), influenced especially by metonymy. Fewer names were established by syntactic construction (i.e. by attaching two name constituents, 17%); name adaptation (i.e. borrowing, 14%); structural change (i.e. modification of an existing name form, 4%); and morphematic construction (i.e. derivation, 2%). The frequency of these types of name formation also changed over time.
A helynevek rendszere, funkciója és fordíthatósága A tűz és jég dala című fantasyciklusban
Authors: Horváth Vivien
Published: September 2023

The paper examines the place name systems appearing in the novels of the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. Motivation for naming is identified through the analysis of names for large physical features, regions and their seats. A functional-semantic typology including examples is also established, which demonstrates how rich in detail the literary world is and how colourful the adopted names are. The author also discusses the metonymic use of place names and observes the use of names in relation to the events and the world of the novels. Although the analysis is based on the original, English place names, the paper also examines the Hungarian translations of the toponyms focusing on the principles and systematicity of translation strategies. The author presents how successful the translated name forms are in maintaining the semantic and structural features of the original place names.

Published: September 2023

This piece tries to figure out how the BNN Palangkaraya City program teaches kids not to use drugs. This study was started because there are so many stories in the media about students who have been hurt by drug use. This situation makes me worry about the next generation of students if it isn't taken seriously right away by an official organization like BNN Palangka Raya City and with the help of the community. So that this talk can go in a certain direction, the author focuses the study on how BNN Palangkaraya City's anti-drug education programs for students are put into place. This study is a type of detailed qualitative research that looks at things as they are and tries to figure out what they mean. Observation, direct interviews, and written records are all ways to gather data. Snowball sampling methods are used to show the data, reduce the amount of data, and come to conclusions. Source triangulation is used in the data truth method. The data showed that the best way to teach people not to use drugs was through the BNN Goes to School program, which is a partnership between BNN Kota and junior and senior high schools. Second, the literacy program is a partnership between BNN Kota and the mass media for P4GN socialization on national holidays. It also includes three programs for recruiting volunteers and activists who are trained in how to help protect young people from the dangers of drugs.

Exploration of Argumentation and Scientific Reasoning Ability in Phenomenon-Based Argument-Driven Inquiry Learning in Newton's Law Material
Authors: Syarqiy Dibyaratna , Yuliati Lia , Taufiq Ahmad
Published: September 2023

The ability of argumentation and scientific reasoning is part of scientific literacy which is a requirement for learning science. Students get knowledge according to the understanding of scientists, which is important for students to have, especially in Newton's law material, but learning in the classroom currently has not developed argumentation and scientific reasoning skills properly. This study used a mixed method design with an embedded experimental design carried out offline. This research design was used in order to obtain an in-depth picture of students' argumentation and scientific reasoning abilities. The results showed that students' argumentation and scientific reasoning abilities increased significantly after being given the phenomenon-based Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) learning model. This learning has a moderate effect on argumentation skills and a very large one on students' scientific reasoning. Even though students' argumentation abilities have increased significantly, on average students still have difficulty in associating a phenomenon with the appropriate Newton's Laws. Scientific reasoning students also experience positive changes. This is evidenced by the increase in post-test scores and effect sizes which are in the very large category

The study of F2 plants of intraspecific hybrid between sub sp. hypogace and sub sp. fastigiate of groundnut Arachis hypogaea L. showed the varying spectrum of chlorophyll deficient seedlings. The segregation pattern in F2 occurred in the ratio of 15:1 for green versus chlorophyll deficient seedlings, indicating the dihy- brid ratio controlled by duplicate factors. Since the ratio is identical in both direct and reciprocal crosses the influence of cytoplasm is ruled out. The spectrum of chlorophyll deficient seedlings consists of albina, viridis and chlorina.

Two field experiments were conducted on rainfed Spanish groundnut to study the individual and combined effects of P, Ca and S in addition to B and Mo on the yield of unshelled nuts and nutrient uptake. Among the P sources, single super phosphate was superior to dihydrogen sodium phosphate in increasing the yield of un- shelled nuts, Either a farm mixture of CaO+ elemental S or gypsum was equally ef- fective as a source of Ce and S. The synergistic effect of Ca + S was more pro- nounced than their individual effect on yield and nutrient uptake. Application of a farm mixtute of Ca + S or gypsum to NPK increased the yield and nutrient uptake significantly. Maximum nutrient uptake was with DHSP+ NK+ gypsum or with SSP+ NK at the same level of Ca+S. Fertilization of B and Mo neither increased the uptake of nutrients nor yield of unshelled nuts. It was observed that the crop yield was closely related to the nutrient uptake. The nutrients removed for production of one tonne of unshelled nuts and one and half tons of haulm were 71.5, 80, 16.5 27.9, and 5,5 kg of N, P, K, Ca and S respectively.

Eleven genotypes of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) were evaluated with respect to herbage yield and its components for three years. The data, pertaining to 17 cuts were analysed considering individual cuts as environments. Fresence of genotype-environment interaction was revealed for the traits green forage yeield, dry matter yield, plant height and leafiness percentage. Mean performance of varieties could be predicted across the environments. Variety Anand-2 was above average in performance for green forage yield, dry matter yield and plant height, below average in response and stable for these characters. It was highly stable for leafiness but unstable for number of tillers. The recommended variety T-9 was very poor in performance, below average in response and stable for green forage and dry matter yield only.

Soil samples collected from the little Andaman Forest Division were analysed for their humus composition. The study revealed that unlike the soil of tropical dry decidu- ous forests the soil of these tropical evergreen forests have lignin rich humus in their surface horizons. The content of resistant carbon and nitrogen is also maximum in surface horizons. The composition of humus indicates predominance of humic acids over fulvic acids with very high Cha/Cfa ratio similar to Chestnuts and Chernozems of Eastern Siharia. The aromatic nature of the surface humic substances along with their tendency towards coagulation in aqueous medium makes the soil more favourable for the plant growth.

Combining ability was studied in a 6x6 diallel set of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill. for seed yield and its components. Analysis of variance for treatment showed a wide range of variability: Both general and specific combining ability variances were significant. The higher magnitude of gca variance indicated the importance of additive and additive x addi- tive components of genetic variance in the inheritance of these characters. Monetta" and 'EC 7034 were best general combiners for a majority of traits. Five Fy hybrids) viz Bragg x Wills. "EC 7034' x Hernon-49 'Monetta' x Hernon-49", "EC 7034 x 'Mone- tta and Punjab-1" x 'EC 7034 were identified as promising and their use in hybrid broading programme in soybean would be most advantageous.

Experiments were conducted in the field over a period of 2 years to assess the extent of loss in soybean due to yellow mosaic which appears in high incidence at Kanpur. The inci- dence ranged from 30 to 58 per cent. Intense yellowing of the foliage, lesser branches and stunting of the plants were found to be the main contributory factors governing the reduc tion in yield. The disease caused reduction from 19 to 66 per cent in height 15,7 to 74 per cent in number of pods per plant and 26,3 to 73.2 per cent grain weight per plant in 4 disease intensita categories. The average loss recorded, however, was 18,96 and 21,52 per cent or 3.79 quis, and 4,3 quis. per hectare during 1975 and 1976 respectively.

The uniqueness and cultural diversity of traditional communities as reflected in ideas, activities and artifacts can be studied and used as a source of learning mathematics. Most people view that mathematics is not related to culture or is culturally independent. The development of mathematics in society through cultural activities can be studied through ethnomathematics studies that can bring mathematics closer to student culture. Thus, this study aims to explore the number system and cultural meaning that developed in the Sasak people which can be used as a source of learning mathematics on the island of Lombok. This research is a research with ethnographic method. Research data was collected through observation, literature study, and interviews with cultural practitioners, traditional chief leaders, traditional leaders, Sasak cultural researchers and humanists. The results of this study indicate that the development of the number system has been developing for a long time in the Sasak people. Counting activities (bejinah) use arithmetic operations as is done in general but with local terms, namely total (rombok), less (sedik), times (kali) and divide (bagi). The developing number system is understood as a number in quantitative and qualitative form, in unit or set numbers. There are 5 types of unit or set numbers known by the Sasak people, namely bond units, measuring units for solid objects, measuring units for liquid objects, area units and length units.  The mathematical concepts found in the activities of the Sasak people can be used as a source of learning and as a starting point in learning mathematics
