"A nyílt társadalmi diszkrimináció utolsó bástyája": az emberek nyelvhasználata
“The last bastion of overt social discrimination”: the use of language

Summary/Abstract: Linguistic discrimination, contrary to other forms of discrimination, is socially widely accepted. Most people find that they are discriminated linguistically because of their own “deficiencies”. The paper examines how normative ideas are built in different cultural layers in Hungarian folk knowledge, from popularised ideas of the national past to a kind of platonic prescriptivism characteristic of folk linguistic ideas.
