The Even Yearbook 4 (2000)

The Even Yearbook 4 (2000) is the 4th in a series of biennial volumes that we have published in every even-numbered year since 1994, and the last in this millenium.

It contains papers by members (or former members) of the Department of English Linguistics of Eötvös Loránd University and by students on the PhD programme in English Linguistics. One article is devoted to syntactic theory (Newson), one to the relation between linguistic form and meaning (Marosán); others deal with phonological topics of various kinds: English stress and rhythm (Wenszky, Varga), Hungarian degemination (Siptár), Proto-Slavonic palatal harmony (Kristó), sonority (Cser), and alternatives to the syllable (Szigetvári).

Our thanks are due to the anonymous external reviewer for reading and helping to select the papers, and to Péter Szigetvári, who, in addition to being one of the authors, has done the technical editing and computer-printing of the volume excellently again. The publication was made possible by a grant from the Textbook Committee of the Faculty of Arts of Eötvös Loránd University.
