'It is entirely fitting that Katalin E. Kiss should be the author of this welcome addition to the Cambridge Syntax Guides series ... This offers an introduction not only to aspects that have attracted international interest in recent years ... but also to areas less explored in traditional Hungarian synchronic linguistics ...'. Slavonic & East European Review 'The book represents a systematic study of Hungarian sentance structure. In each chapter the reader is led through detailed arguementaions, a wealth of data and presentations of several previous analyses with their merits and shortcomings discussed. ... this book provides a detailed investigation of a wide range of phenomena in Hungarian syntax... It is both an invaluable summary of the results of contemporary syntactic research on Hungarian and original work in all senses of the word. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in issues concerning the structure of Hungarian.' Acta Linguistica Hungarica
