Alklasszok

Alklasszok is a Hungarian term encountered mainly in scholarly writing to refer to subordinate or secondary classes within a broader category. The word is built from the prefix al- meaning "sub-" or "under" and klasszok, related to "classes" or "categories"; its exact connotation varies by context and it is not standardized across disciplines. In sociology, for instance, alklasszok may be used to describe subdivisions within a social class, such as professional or income-based subgroups. In taxonomy or biology, the term could be used informally to denote minor sublineages within a higher taxon. In linguistics or education, it may describe secondary categories of language features or learner types. Because alklasszok is not a widely codified term, writers often prefer established terms such as alsó osztályok, alcsoport, or subcategory to avoid ambiguity. The concept overlaps with more common notions like subclass, subcategory, or sub-type, and is defined by the author for a particular study. Critics note that lack of standardization may hinder cross-disciplinary comparison, so explicit definitions and examples are essential when the term is used.
