elméletében

Elméletében is a Hungarian locative possessive construction used to refer to internal aspects of a theory, idea, or framework. The phrase centers on the noun elmélet (theory) and expresses “in its/theory’s” contents, meaning something like “within its theory.” It is formed by attaching the third-person possessive suffix to elmélet and adding the locative suffix -ben/-ben, so the form describes locations inside the referenced theory. In practice, elméletében is most common in academic or analytical writing when discussing assumptions, implications, or logical structures that the theory contains.

Usage and meaning

The expression serves to shift discussion to elements that are part of a theory rather than external critique. It can modify nouns or appear in clauses that describe what is contained, implied, or assumed within the theory. The phrase is especially common when contrasting what a theory claims with what follows from its internal logic, or when summarizing the theory’s own commitments.

Examples

- Az elméletében rejlő ellentmondások felderítése a kutatás központi feladata. (Uncovering the contradictions hidden in its theory is the core task of the research.)

- Az elméletében foglalt alapelvek alapján értelmezik az adatokat. (The data are interpreted according to the principles contained in the theory.)

Relation to broader grammar

Elméletében illustrates the broader Hungarian pattern of combining a noun with possessive and locative endings to convey “inside X” with a specific owner or source. It is part of standard scholarly Hungarian and can be paralleled with similar constructions using other nouns to discuss internal aspects of different theories, frameworks, or concepts.
