nyelvileg

Nyelvileg is a Hungarian adverb meaning “linguistically” or “from a linguistic point of view.” It is formed from the noun nyelv (language) and the adverbial suffix -ileg, and is used to indicate that a statement or analysis concerns language as a system or as a subject of linguistic study rather than general or factual content.

In practice, nyelvileg introduces assessments of language structures, usage, or theories. It is common in academic writing, linguistics, philology, and discussions of language policy. It is not a synonym for nyelvtanilag, which means “grammatically,” but a broader reference to linguistic aspects and the way language works.

Nyelvileg typically points to aspects such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistic variation, rather than to prescriptive grammar rules alone. It is often contrasted with more specific terms like nyelvtanilag, which focuses narrowly on grammar, or nyelvi, an adjective relating to language in a broader sense.

Examples:

- Nyelvileg ez a mondat helyes.

- Nyelvileg a vizsgált szerkezet megfelel a nyelvi elméleteknek.

- A kutatás nyelvileg közelíti meg a problémát, nem csupán tartalmi szempontból.
