Szövegszinten

Szövegszinten is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "at the text level" or "on a textual level." It refers to an analysis or consideration of written material that focuses on its content, meaning, structure, and linguistic features as they appear in the text itself, rather than considering external factors like the author's intent, historical context, or the reader's interpretation.

When something is examined or discussed "szövegszinten," the focus is on the words, sentences, paragraphs, and how they are organized to convey information or a message. This can include analyzing vocabulary choices, grammatical constructions, the flow of ideas, and the coherence of the narrative or argument. For example, in literary criticism, analyzing a novel "szövegszinten" would involve looking at the plot, character development as depicted, dialogue, and descriptive passages within the book itself. In technical writing, it might mean assessing the clarity of instructions or the logical progression of technical information.

The concept is often contrasted with deeper levels of analysis, such as thematic interpretation, ideological critique, or psychological readings. While these other levels might draw upon the text, "szövegszinten" analysis prioritizes what is explicitly present and observable within the written work. It forms a foundational step in understanding any piece of writing before moving on to more subjective or inferential interpretations.
