Abstract

With the title and content of the journal, we aim to draw attention to two areas of linguistics—semantics and pragmatics—that have already proven their legitimacy as independent fields of linguistic research in modern linguistics. Although there are highly esteemed journals worldwide that publish articles on semantic and pragmatic topics, and although there are researchers in Hungary who primarily focus on semantics or pragmatics, there is currently no Hungarian-language journal with a specifically semantic-pragmatic profile. The first issue of Jelentés és Nyelvhasználat is dedicated to publishing studies based on presentations from the conference Újdonságok a szemantikai és pragmatikai kutatásokban (New Developments in Semantic and Pragmatic Research), held in Szeged on April 11, 2014, organized by the Pragmatics Center and the Department of General Linguistics at the University of Szeged.
