Nyelviszakterület

Nyelviszakterület is a Hungarian noun formed from nyelvi (relating to language) and szakterület (field of specialization). The term denotes a domain of knowledge, activity, or responsibility centered on language. It is used in academic, educational, and professional contexts to describe the set of subjects, practices, and competencies related to language.

In scholarly and curricular contexts, nyelviszakterület can encompass both theoretical and applied areas of language study. This typically includes linguistics—such as phonetics, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics—as well as applied disciplines like language education, language acquisition, and language testing. It may also cover translation and interpretation, terminology management, localization, and language technology, along with aspects of language policy and planning.

Usage and status: the term is not universally standardized in Hungarian. More common and widely recognized variants are nyelvi szakterület or nyelvi terület. Nyelviszakterület may appear in curriculum frameworks, departmental descriptions, or policy documents to name a coherent domain of language-related disciplines and activities.

Relation to related terms: nyelviszakterület is largely synonymous with nyelvi szakterület, though preference for one form can vary by author or institution. In many contexts, the distinction is stylistic rather than conceptual, with both terms pointing to the area of specialization focused on language.
