Irányultsághoz

Irányultsághoz is a Hungarian grammatical form used to indicate the target or reference point of an orientation or tendency. It is formed by attaching the allative suffix -hoz to the noun irányultság (orientation, tendency), producing a construction that points toward the orientation being considered or assessed.

Grammatical function and meaning. The -hoz suffix marks direction toward a particular orientation, serving as a complement in noun phrases or in complex expressions. It is commonly found in scholarly language to connect an orientation with its objects, references, or related phenomena. For example, phrases like politikai irányultsághoz kötődő szabályok (rules tied to political orientation) or szervezeti irányultsághoz igazodó stratégiák (strategies aligned with the organization’s orientation) illustrate its use to link an orientation to actions, norms, or assessments.

Usage and context. The form appears primarily in academic or technical Hungarian texts, especially in social sciences, political science, and linguistics, where precise description of attitudes, values, or strategic positions is needed. It multimedia with other descriptors to express alignment, dependence, or relation to a given orientation.

Etymology and typology. The term is derived from irányultság (orientation, tendency) plus the allative suffix -hoz, a grammatical marker used to indicate direction toward a referent. As a specialized construction, irányultsághoz typically appears within larger nominal phrases or within analytic discussions of value systems, political alignments, or organizational behavior.
