Summary/Abstract: Since press translation is very different from all other translations, and in the translation of some media genres the translator makes large-scale changes or complete transformations to the information content of the news text, omitting information, inserting others, changing the title, or even changing the perspective, which can sometimes completely reorganize the communicative structure of the target-language-text sentences, the question arises as to how, in the case of translation, the semantic structuring of the original text affects the structuring of the translated text, whether the current structuring patterns are transferable from one language to another, or what justifies the difference, and if so, what effect it has on the content, whether it causes a change in the event structure.Taking the above into account, in the present paper we investigate the current tagging of news texts randomly selected from a corpus collected at the same point in time and the role of topic–topic structure in organizing the text. The common feature of the text samples is that they are summaries and abridged transcriptions of texts translated into Hungarian or news articles.
