Reference excerpt

Marianne Bakró-Nagy (born 2 November 1946 in Budapest) is a linguist and Finno-Ugrist who is emeritus professor at the University of Szeged and the Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics.

Education, career and honours Bakró-Nagy studied English, Hungarian and Finno-Ugric linguistics to MA level at Eötvös Loránd University between 1970 and 1976. She received her candidate (doctoral) degree from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1990, and her Doctor of Sciences degree (higher doctorate) from the same institution in 2002. Bakró-Nagy was affiliated with the Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics consistently from 1971 until her retirement in 2016, initially as a research fellow, then as deputy director (1982–1995), head of the department of Finno-Ugric and historical linguistics (1993–2016), and research professor (2011–2016). In parallel to this, she was assistant professor at Eötvös Loránd University from 1993 to 2001 as well as lecturer at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland (1993–1995) and head of the Finno-Ugric department of the Janus Pannonius University in Pécs (1996–1997). In 2001 she took up a position as full professor at the University of Szeged, which she again held until her retirement in 2016. Bakró-Nagy has received numerous honours and awards for her work, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Helsinki (2007), the First Class Medal of the Order of the White Rose of Finland (2011), and the Officer's Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit (2016). In 2021 she was elected ordinary member of the Academia Europaea.

Research Within the empirical domain of the Finno-Ugric languages, Bakró-Nagy's research has ranged broadly over topics including historical linguistics and language change, anthropological linguistics, taboo and secret languages, and cultural remembrance in Mansi folklore texts. The Ob-Ugric languages have been a particular focus of her research. Along with Johanna Laakso and Elena Skribnik she is editor of the Oxford Guide to the Uralic Languages (2022). Bakró-Nagy has been co-investigator on several international grant-funded projects, including Ob-Ugric languages: conceptual structures, lexicon, constructions, categories - "An innovative approach to creating descriptive resources for Khanty and Mansi" (2009–2015), Innovative Networking in Infrastructure for Endangered Languages (2011–2014), and Changes in the Eurasian steppes and their peripheries (2015–2018).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marianne Bakró-Nagy

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marianne Bakró-Nagy claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Marianne Bakró-Nagy before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Marianne Bakró-Nagy ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Marianne Bakró-Nagy

In research: Marianne Bakró-Nagy appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Marianne Bakró-Nagy in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Marianne Bakró-Nagy is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1946 births, Academic staff of the University of Szeged, Anthropological linguists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marianne Bakró-Nagy outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
