Abstract

Onomastic theses at the Department of Hungarian Linguistics of Miskolc University (1996–2009)

We have come to the end of an era in higher education; the traditional five-year programme for students majoring in Hungarian was terminated this spring. In the new BA + MA system, students are expected to submit their theses at the end of the third year; as a result, the time for preparing the thesis is shortened; thus, requirements set against it must also be changed. The author collected the basic data of onomastic theses handed in at the Department of Hungarian Linguistics of Miskolc University between 1996 and 2009 to give a picture of trends in onomastic research carried out at the department and to introduce the results of these manuscripts to the general public and professionals.
