Típuspéldák

Típuspéldák is a term used in Hungarian linguistic pedagogy and reference materials to denote exemplars that illustrate a particular type, pattern, or category. They are selected instances designed to show how a grammatical, phonological, or semantic feature operates in practice.

In language teaching and grammar descriptions, típuspéldák are commonly presented as brief sentences or phrases that exemplify a specific construction, rule, or class. A typical típuspéldát might demonstrate a tense or mood, a verb conjugation pattern, a case system, or a syntactic order. Alongside the example, a short explanation or labels (such as the grammatical category or function) helps learners recognize the pattern and apply it to other items.

In linguistic typology and descriptive grammar, típuspéldák serve as concrete representations of abstract categories. They can be used to compare how different languages realize similar functions, or to illustrate cross-linguistic variation within a single framework. Clear labeling and consistent formatting are common practices to enhance comparability and recall.

The term is distinct from típuspéldány, which in Hungarian is used in biological and zoological contexts to mean a type specimen—an actual specimen on which a species description is based. While related in being examples of a category, típuspéldák refer to illustrative instances rather than physical specimens.

Overall, típuspéldák aid understanding by making abstract rules tangible, supporting teaching, description, and cross-language comparison through concrete, labeled examples.
