Határozójegyével

Határozójegyével is a term used in Hungarian linguistic literature to describe a specific morphological construction in which a noun phrase is noted as bearing a determiner marker. The expression translates roughly to “with its determiner tag” and is employed mainly in scholarly descriptions of Hungarian morphology and syntactic annotation, rather than in everyday grammar.

Morphology and formation: The term combines határozó, meaning an adverbial or determiner-like element in a noun phrase, with jegy, meaning sign or marker. The instrumental suffix -ével (or -jával, depending on the phonology of the stem) is added to form határozójegyével. The result is a form used to indicate that a word carries a determiner marker within a given analysis or annotated data. The construction typifies how complex noun phrases can be described when distinguishing bare nouns from those with explicit determiner marking.

Usage in linguistics: Határozójegyével appears mainly in descriptive grammar, typology, and corpus linguistics. It is not a widely used everyday grammatical category, but rather a label used by researchers to refer to the state of a noun phrase that includes a determiner marker. The concept helps linguists discuss how determiner information attaches to nouns in Hungarian, and it can appear in annotation guidelines or methodological discussions about morphosyntactic tagging.

Context and limitations: Because Hungarian lacks definite/indefinite articles in the same way as many languages, determiner marking in Hungarian often relies on demonstratives, possessives, or other markers. Határozójegyével is thus a niche term for describing a particular analytical situation rather than a general grammatical rule. See also Hungarian grammar, határozó, jegy, and morphosyntactic tagging.
