Preface

The present volume provides the non-Hungarian speaking community of linguists interested in text and discourse studies with an overview of the research carried out around the periodical Officina Textologica, published by the Institute of Hungarian Linguistics, University of Debrecen, Hungary, since 1997. Authors try to offer some insights into publications available so far in Hungarian only, breaking this way the limits of diffusion imposed by the fact that Officina Textologica has only collected articles written in this somewhat rare language.

In the past sixteen years, annual workshops preceding the elaboration of the forthcoming issues have gathered scholars not only from the departments of languages and linguistics of this university but also from other Hungarian universities as well as from abroad. Their fields of interest, theoretical and methodical approaches are often quite different; however, a coherent and fruitful dialogue is established each time on the grounds of a unique theoretical framework called semiotic textology.

This volume is not about semiotic textology in general. Readers can find several publications on this topic in languages other than Hungarian as well, among which Giuffre (2011) is a recent and exhaustive account of the theory. What will be dealt with on the following pages is a polyglot research program conceived in a semiotic-textological framework.
