Beszélgetésbeszélgetése

Beszélgetésbeszélgetése is a coined Hungarian term used in discussions of discourse to denote a meta-discussion about conversations themselves. It refers to the act of discussing, analyzing, or reflecting on the process and structure of talking rather than the substantive content of what is being discussed. In sociolinguistic and philosophical contexts, the term is used to illustrate recursive or self-referential communication.

The word is formed by compounding beszélgetés (conversation) with a second form, beszélgetése, to emphasize the meta-level. It functions as a noun, sometimes described as the act or instance of discussing conversations. The construction is characteristic of Hungarian's productive compounding and its ability to create recursive terms.

In practice, it might appear in analytic writing or playful rhetoric: "A beszélgetésbeszélgetése során a résztvevők az interakció szabályait és a nyelvi formákat vitatják meg." In everyday language, speakers may refer to the meta-level of discussion as "beszélgetés beszélgetése" with spacing; however, the compound form is the standard academic usage.

Related concepts include meta-discourse, discourse analysis, metapragmatics, and self-reference. Status: It is an emergent or occasional term rather than a standard entry in Hungarian linguistics; used mainly in discussions of recursive discourse or as an illustrative example.
