A kárpátaljai magyar nyelvhasználat sajátosságai az 1980-90-es évek fordulóján a Vörös Zászló járási lap anyagai alapján
Characteristics of the Use of the Hungarian Language in Transcarpathia at the Turn of the 1980s and 1990s, Based on the Materials of the Vörös Zászló District Newspaper

Summary/Abstract: The turn of the 1980s and 1990s brought a number of changes for the whole Soviet world, including the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia, which obviously had an impact on the language of the press, as elements of political or economic jargon appear in the daily press just as much as the language of sport or the argot. The majority of linguists agree that press language is a mirror of language use in which linguistic changes are detectable and traceable almost immediately. In this paper, we have attempted to present an overview of the 1989–1990 issues of the Berehovo District Council newspaper, the Vörös Zászló [Red Flag]—i.e. more than 300 issues and more than 1,200 pages of text for the two years—presenting the major events and problems of the period, and the linguistic information related to them, especially the state language loanwords that appeared in the paper as a result of bilingualism.
