szóközpontú

Szóközpontú is a Hungarian term that translates to "word-centered" or "focused on words." It is often used in linguistics and literary analysis to describe an approach or perspective that emphasizes the study of individual words, their meanings, etymologies, and relationships within language. This approach might involve analyzing word choice, semantic fields, or the historical development of vocabulary. In contrast to approaches that might focus on sentence structure, discourse, or broader cultural contexts, a szóközpontú perspective delves deeply into the building blocks of language itself.

This concept can be applied to various fields. In lexicography, for instance, a szóközpontú approach is fundamental, as dictionaries are inherently focused on defining and cataloging words. In literature, a szóközpontú analysis might examine how an author's specific word choices contribute to the overall tone, meaning, or effect of a text. It can also be relevant in language acquisition, where understanding the meaning and usage of individual words is a primary goal. The term implies a granular examination of linguistic elements, valuing the richness and complexity found within each word.
