O spójności syntaktycznych kryteriów systematyzacji polskich i węgierskich części mowy
On the Consistency of Syntactic Criteria for the Systematization of Polish and Hungarian Parts of Speech

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to verify the possibility of the parallel use of the formal criteria of systematization for parts of speech proposed by Polish and Hungarian linguists in their recent works dealing with problems of morphological description. Two possible approaches are considered: the morphological and the syntactic approach. The paper focuses on the syntactic criteria regarded as more universal. The term has several interpretations. Some authors understand it as e.g. the autonomy of a lexeme in utterance, linking functions, types of syntactic relationships, superiority or subordination in a phrase, morphological accommodation within a syntactic group. Some selected recent approaches to the systematization of Polish and Hungarian parts of speech are discussed. The Polish model drawn up by Roman Laskowski is based on the top-down principle and the use of several syntactic properties of lexemes. The approach adopted by István Kenesei for Hungarian lexemes follows a method formulated within generative grammar, which may be described as the grass-roots method. The results of the comparative analysis are summed up in a tabular form.
