Szövegben

Szövegben is the locative form of the Hungarian noun szöveg, meaning "text" or "the text." As a word, it indicates location inside a text and is used to describe where something occurs or is found within written material. The form follows Hungarian morphology, with the suffix -ben indicating the inessive (inside) case.

In use, szövegben functions as an adverbial phrase that answers questions of place related to a text. It is common in linguistic description, literary analysis, and editorial notes to specify where a statement or example can be found. For example, a sentence such as A szó a szövegben található means "The word is found in the text." The plural form is szövegekben when referring to multiple texts.

Etymologically, szövegben is built from szöveg (text) plus the postposition-like suffix -ben, a standard Hungarian device for expressing location inside. It harmonizes with other inessive forms for different nouns, such as fejszében (in the head) or könyvben (in the book), though the latter naturally refers to a document or object rather than a spoken location.

Common grammatical role and synonyms: szövegben is not a separate lexical item beyond the locative form of szöveg; it typically functions as an adjunct indicating textual location. It can be contrasted with other location expressions like a szövegben kívül (outside the text) or a szövegben szereplő (present within the text) in phrases describing content.
