kzeteket

Kzetetek is a term used in textual studies to denote a curated collection of excerpts drawn from longer texts for analysis, comparison, or teaching. A kzeteket is typically structured with explicit boundaries for each excerpt, source attribution, and metadata describing edition, page range, and any editorial notes. The purpose is to provide representative samples that illuminate linguistic patterns, stylistic features, or thematic elements without requiring access to full texts.

The term itself is not part of standard Hungarian vocabulary; its origin, orthography, and exact usage vary across communities. It is sometimes described as a neologism or a workshop term in digital humanities and corpus linguistics where researchers experiment with compact text units.

Kzetetek are related to quotes (idézetek) or excerpts but are distinct in emphasis on curated selection and metadata tagging. In practice, a kzetetek collection may be distributed as a structured dataset with fields for excerpt text, source, starting and ending positions, and thematic tags. In teaching and research, kzetetek can support comparative analysis, stylistic studies, and training data for natural language processing, allowing analysts to study phenomena such as lexical choices, syntax patterns, and narrative devices in a controlled, smaller-scale format.
