Szemantikájának

Szemantikájának is a Hungarian morphological form derived from szemantika, the term for semantics. It is not a separate lexical item, but a possessive and case-marked form used to express ownership or association of semantics in a wider phrase.

Morphology and function: The base szemantika takes a third-person singular possessive suffix to yield szemantikája, meaning “its semantics” (or “the semantics of it”). When a further suffix is added to mark a grammatical case such as the genitive or dative, szemantikája becomes szemantikájának. Thus szemantikájának conveys “of its semantics” or “to its semantics,” depending on the syntactic role in the sentence. The exact interpretation follows standard Hungarian case-marking rules.

Usage: This form frequently appears in academic, linguistic, or literary analyses where the semantics of an entity are being discussed. Examples include phrases like:

- A szöveg szemantikájának elemzése. (The analysis of the text’s semantics.)

- A jelenség szemantikájának értelmezése. (The interpretation of the phenomenon’s semantics.)

Such constructions help tie the discussion to the semantic content associated with a referent, rather than to its mere syntactic form.

Relation to other terms: Szemantikájának is tied to the broader field szemantika (semantics) in Hungarian linguistics. It illustrates how Hungarian combines possessive morphology with case endings to express nuanced ownership and relation within a clause.
