Left-peripheral Free Relatives in Northern Basque
This paper was to be a contribution to a volume devoted to the left periphery of various languages which, unfortunately, was never published.xLeft-peripheral relative clauses (also known as correlative clauses) are widely attested in natural languages — in the Indo-European family, both ancient and modern, and outside of that domain too. Such is also the case of Basque, an isolate language spoken in South-Western France and Northern Spain, in which these Left-peripheric Free Relatives (LPFRs), are restricted to the Eastern dialects, i.e. those spoken in France, and the neighbouring subdialects spoken across the boundary, in Spanish Navarre..

Word order in Hungarian exclamatives
This paper gives a
syntactic overview and analysis of exclamative constructions in Hungarian. Its
main purpose is to describe word order variation in exclamative clauses, in
comparison with other sentence types. The formal properties of exclamatives
that will be discussed here have important consequences for the theories of
exclamatives and exclamativity in general. The empirical findings will force
one to reconsider the syntactic theory of exclamatives put forward by Portner
and Zanuttini (2003). The key modification affects the role focus plays in
exclamatives: it will be shown that languages can use available syntactic means
of focusing in the expression of exclamatives
Passive potential affixation: syntax or lexicon?
In this paper we will argue that contrary to the received view passive potential affixation in Hungarian primarily derives complex syntactic objects rather than adjectives. By means of a number of tests we show the differences between the two classes of items bearing the homophonous affix -ható/hető : one a nonfinite verb form, the other a lexicalized adjective. In addition to a syntactic analysis of this composite affix, a typology is provided for languages that have similar constructions
SzĂ©nhidrát alapĂş C- Ă©s CH2-szulfonsavak szintĂ©zise Ă©s biolĂłgiai vizsgálata, továbbá cukorszulfopeptidek előállĂtása = Synthesis and biological investigation of carbohydrate containing C- and CH2- sulfonic and that of the sugar sulfopeptides
Ă–tĂ©ves cĂ©lkitűzĂ©sĂĽnk alatt 16 nemzetközi közlemĂ©nyt publikáltunk. MindenekelĹ‘tt a szĂ©nhidrátszulfonsavak előállĂtásának kĂĽlönbözĹ‘ lehetĹ‘sĂ©geit vizsgáltuk. EredmĂ©nyesen valĂłsĂtottuk meg az intra- Ă©s intermolekuláris nukleofil reakciĂłkat. Legfontosabb cĂ©lkitűzĂ©sĂĽnk, a a cukorszulfonsavak előállĂtására alkalmas reakciĂłk vizsgálata, pl. az 1-tio-2-O-mezil-beta-D-glĂĽkozidok Ă©s 1-tio-2-O-mezil-alfa-D-mannozidok transzformáciĂłja 1,2-transz-D-manno- ill. glĂĽkopiranoziddá. KiemelhetĹ‘ az exo-metilĂ©n csoport bevezetĂ©se Ă©s szulfonometil-csoporttá alakĂtása szulfit addĂciĂłval. Az izolált vegyĂĽletek konfiguráciĂłjának Ă©s konformáciĂłjának meghatározása 1H- Ă©s 13C-NMR segĂtsĂ©gĂ©vel, ill. oldat Ă©s szilárd fázisĂş chiroptikai mĂłdszerrel törtĂ©nt. Az N-acetilneuraminsav analĂłgok szinĂ©tzisĂ©t L-fukĂłzbĂłl kiindulva valĂłsĂtottuk meg. A vegyĂĽlet gyűrű-rendszere biolĂłgiai aktivitást mutat. A vegyĂĽletek hiányzĂł anomer protona következtĂ©ben távolhatĂł NMR mĂ©rĂ©sek Ă©s molekuláris számĂtások (QM) elengedhetetlenĂĽl szĂĽksĂ©gesek voltak. Magasabb tagszámĂş 3,6 elágazásĂş arabinogalaktán oligoszacharidok (tetra Ă©s hexa) előállĂtását megvalĂłsĂtottuk. A Mycobacterium avium 19-es szerovariáns sejtfelszĂni pentaszacharidjának szintĂ©zisĂ©t a közelmĂşltban valĂłsĂtottuk meg. A legvonzĂłbb eredmĂ©ny a szulfonsavtartalmĂş heparinoid mono- Ă©s oligoszacharidok szintĂ©zise. Valamennyi Ă©pĂtĹ‘elem alkalmas vĂ©dĹ‘csoportkĂ©nt kezelhetĹ‘. Jelenleg 6 diszacharid egysĂ©g a közeli jövĹ‘ben pentaszacharidig teljesĂthetĹ‘. | As a result of our OTKA project, aimed, primarily, at the investigation of the possibilities for the preparation carbohydrate sulfonic acids, 16 papers were published in international journals. We realized the transformation of 1-thio-2-O-mesyl-beta-D-glucopyranosides and 1-thio-2-O-mesyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosides into 1,2-trans-D-manno- and glucopyranosides. An important result is the introduction of the exo-methylene group and its conversion into sulfonatomethyl moiety by sulfit addition. The determination of the configuration and conformation of the isolated compounds was carried out with NMR techniques, as well as by means of solution- and solid-phase chiroptical methods. The N-acetylneuraminic acid analogues were synthesized from L-fucose. The prepared compounds, carrying the demanded ring-system, showed biological activity. Due to the missing anomeric proton of such ketoses, long-range NMR coupling measurements and molecular calculatios (QM) were established. Our research group performed the preparation of 3.6-branched arabinogalactan oligosaccharides. The synthesis of the pentasaccharide of the Mycobact. avium serovar 19 was recently accomplished. Our most attractive results include those which are in connection with the sulfonatomethyl mono- and oligosaccharide analogues of heparin. The disaccharides of the required heparin-pentasaccharides have been synthesized
