In the paper we tried to find the answer for how the Saxon responded for the injuria of the Josephine and the 1790-91 diet’s regulations. The analysis of the solely printed texts was mainly lingual: which are the instruments of the enemy formation and self-definition, as well as the elements of argumentation for proving the righteousness of the privileges. The always situational self-definition offers the Saxon different strategies which they parlay as good as they can.

Jovan Kenejevic, who was a clergyman in Rats Titos in Baran region of Hungary, has copied the religious work “Pravila Svyatim Ili Sobraniye” (Правила свјатим или Собраније) in 1800 to be used in church service. This 372 page book is written in Rusko-slovenski (Kilisi Slavic) in Cyrillic letters. Knejevic has mentioned 606 Turkish words in the first four pages of this handwritten work and has made this note over the top line: “We cannot communicate in our daily lives without the Turkish words that are presented here.” ( Зде назначаются турске речи кое ми употребляемь и без нихъ говорим не умъемъ). This note of Parson Knejevic shows the existence of Turkish in Baran region of Hungary in 18th century. Information about this manuscript is provided in the research. Turkish words that were written in Cyrillic letters are translated into Latin letters, their meanings in the Turkish of Turkey are included and they are thematically categorized. As a result of this study, the aim has been to shed a light on the extent of the Turkish sphere of influence in 18th century Hungarian territory.

The traditional literary representation of the village has completely changed in the contemporary literature. It is no longer the symbol of isolation, narrow-mindedness, of a non-informative medium, but that of the individuality and originality. The depiction of the local scenes from an ironic, parodistic aspect characterizes the writings of the younger generation. The documentation of the micro worlds and over-mythologization of the village-situations manoeuvre the texts. All stories are related, get written further and take a shape in a closed space of a micro community that already transforms its characters with undetermined identity and its discouraged readers into the virtual literary medium.

In this study the author describes linguistic means of expressing humour, irony and sarcasm based on texts in Magda Szabó’s book of letters entitled Dear Kumacs! Letters to Éva Haldimann. Dealing with terminology issues in the beginning of the study, the author states that, since they appear together in humorous texts, in many cases notions of humour, irony and sarcasm are treated as synonyms in literature. The style of the letters by Magda Szabó is characterised by varied tone adequate to the given topics: elaborate, humorous, playful, ironic or sarcastic. The study primarily focuses on playful, humorous and ironic names in the address forms and closing formulas of the texts of the letters. The author chooses from the letters those repetitive figures expressing humour which have text-cohesive function.

A preliminary to a possible history of Hungarian literature in Romanian presents several methodological problems, which partly concern the methodology and practice of writing a literary history, and partly various phenomena in the Romanian and Hungarian literary media. The paper first deals with the international practice of writing a literary history and its influence on Hungarian discourse, then surveys the past twenty or twentyfive years’ experience of Hungarian literary studies concerning the topic. Next, it brings up several characteristics of Romanian literary history writing which may be relevant from the viewpoint of writing a history of Hungarian literature in Romanian. Last, it covers issues of fiction and literary translation, which can by no means be bypassed when planning and undertaking such a project.

The present study deals with the history of the Kriterion Publishing House between 1970–1989 as constructed through audio interviews made with several ex-members of the publishing house staff . The pre-planned interviews were made with the purpose of learning about the ways in which the publishing house supported the minority cultures so that to ensure their survival in the last two decades of the Romanian communist regime. In doing so, the study focuses on a significant phenomenon of the cultural life from the period by combining anthropological and micro-historical methods with discourse analytic approach. By examining the cultural components of the informants’ discursive accounts the study intends to provide a novel interpretative framework concerning the Kriterion, a framework which consists of identity-aspects involved in every-day working practices and of the limits set by the ruling power of the period.
