Éva Dékány's website

I am a senior researcher at the  Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics in Budapest (formerly an institute of the Hungarian Academy of  Sciences) and I also hold a part-time senior researcher position at Eötvös University (Budapest).

My research interests include syntax, morphology, the structure of DP and PP as well as subordination, especially in Hungarian and other Uralic languages. My current Bolyai and Bolyai Plus projects investigate the structure of the Noun Phrase. Right now I am working on classifiers in Southeast Asian Languages and Ch'ol (Mayan) as well as on complex numerals and PPs in Hokkaido Ainu (isolate, Japan).

My recently finished  project '(Non-)finite subordination and clause structure' (Sept. 2017 - Dec. 2020) investigated subordination in Old Hungarian, Udmurt and Khanty. This HAS promo video, prepared for the 2017 World Science Forum in Jordan, includes a short interview about my work.

I am founding co-chair of the Hungarian Young Academy. In June 2022, I started a 5-year tenure with the Global Young Academy. In the 2022-2025 period I am a member of the Generative Linguists of the Old World (Glow) Board.

In 2014–2021 served as editor of of Acta Linguistica Academica, an Arts&Humanities journal in Akadémiai Kiadó's portfolio AKJournals.
