The Syntax of Hungarian aims to present a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of the Hungarian language, rooted in theory but providing highly detailed descriptions, and intended to be of use to researchers as well as advanced students of language and linguistics. As research in language leads to extensive changes in our understanding and representations of grammar, the Comprehensive Grammar Resources series intends to present the most current understanding of grammar and syntax as completely as possible in a way that will both speak to modern linguists and serve as a resource for the non-specialist.
"The material discussed in Postpositions and postpositional phrases definitely goes beyond what can be found on the often neglected category of adpositions and adverbs elsewhere, in the few traditional descriptive works on the topic (primarily written in Hungarian) and the handful of analytical works in the last 50 years of generative theorising. This book is the first complete overview of this rich grammatical domain, which will no doubt become the standard reference on the topic. It has all qualities of a reference grammar and it reads as a homogeneous and coherent product, clearly the result of substantial team effort and thorough editing."
