Hungarian verbal structures

Bálint, Sass – Tamás, Váradi – Júlia, Pajzs – Margit, Kiss: Hungarian Verbal Structures – Dictionary of the most frequent Arguments and Collocations (the original data: Sass Bálint, Váradi Tamás, Pajzs Júlia, Kiss Margit: Magyar igei szerkezetek – A leggyakoribb vonzatok és szókapcsolatok szótára)

The dictionary was written at the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It contains 6200 argument frames of 2200 verbs. We can observe easily that even our simplest sentences consist usually of a verb and its arguments. Thus, a dictionary like this can be used for several purposes, as it covers one of the most essential parts of the Hungarian language.
