Serbian Morphological and Syntactic Influences in the Language of Hungarian Students

Summary/Abstract: The paper tackles Serbian morphological and syntactic influences in the language use of Hungarian students in Vojvodina, in the range of which we have to mention types of sentence constructions which lack the ‘spirit of Hungarian language’, first of all the over use of adverbial participles under the influence of the Serbian passive constructions, and also, the preference of imperative structures with the hogy conjunction under the influence of the Serbian present tense ‘da’ verbal constructions. Mirrored word patterns are also frequent, because sentences in Serbian tend to expand to the right whereas Hungarian relies on leftward expansion. The paper pays particular attention to the increased use of the construction used with a specific inflected form of the kell auxiliary and also to the szabad + infinitive constructions.
