Alátámasztásában

Alátámasztásában is a form rather than a standalone concept in Hungarian. It is the locative possessive form of the noun alátámasztás, meaning substantiation, corroboration, or justification. The phrase literally translates to “in its substantiation,” and is used in formal writing to indicate the scope or location of the substantiation related to a subject, assertion, or claim. Because it is a grammatical form, alátámasztásában appears in sentences to specify where or how something is substantiated.

Origin and grammar

Alátámasztás is derived from the verb alátámasztani, “to substantiate, to corroborate.” The suffixes -a(-e) mark possession (its) on the noun, and -ban/-ben is the inessive/locative suffix indicating “in.” The resulting form alátámasztásában means “in its substantiation” and is typically used to denote the part of a statement or argument that provides the justification for something.

Usage

The expression is common in academic, legal, and formal prose where authors discuss the grounds or basis for a claim. It functions as a prepositional phrase component inside larger clauses. Examples:

- Az állítás alátámasztásában szerepet játszanak a kísérleti adatok.

- A hipotézis alátámasztásában bemutatott bizonyítékok nem elegendőek.

Nuances and relations

Alátámasztásában is closely related to alátámasztás (substantiation) and to other terms such as bizonyítás (proof) and cáfolat (refutation). While alátámasztás focuses on providing support, cáfolat emphasizes counter-evidence. The form described here points to the location or scope of that substantiation within a broader statement.
