Szövegközpontú

Szövegközpontú is a Hungarian term that translates to "text-centered" or "focused on text." It describes an approach or methodology that prioritizes the analysis, interpretation, and understanding of written text above other forms of communication or data. In various fields, a szövegközpontú approach means that the primary source of information and the main object of study is the text itself.

This concept can be applied in literary criticism, where a szövegközentú reading would focus on the language, structure, themes, and intertextual references within a work, rather than external biographical details of the author or historical context alone. In linguistics, a szövegközpontú perspective would analyze the patterns, grammar, and semantics of actual spoken or written utterances. In education, a szövegközpontú teaching method would emphasize reading comprehension, writing skills, and textual analysis.

The core idea is to extract meaning and knowledge directly from the words on the page or in speech. This contrasts with approaches that might be more visual, auditory, or experiential. While context and other factors are often acknowledged, the defining characteristic of a szövegközpontú approach is the centrality and primacy of the text in the investigative process. It emphasizes close reading and a deep engagement with the linguistic material.
