TL;DRAbstract
Pregroups are partially ordered monoids where each element has a left and a right adjoint.They have been developed by Lambek and applied to analysis of syntax of natural languages, e.g. from English and French to Japanese, Arabic, and Persian.In recent joint work with Casadio, we introduced the concept of a cyclic Pregroup to formalize clitic movement in French, Italian, and Persian.Our cyclic meta-rules formalize limited kinds of movements of words within a sentence.This paper is an encounter between cyclic Pregroups and the fragment of Hungarian grammar that deals with change of word order.The movement thereof allows for communicating different kinds of emphasis about the constituents of a sentence.We develop a more general version of our previous rules and use them to derive the new type of the verb from its original type in each case of movement.
