The invisible author: Citizen sociolinguistic perspectives on identifying human and AI-generated narrative texts
The widespread usage of generative AI (genAI) challenges traditional notions of authorship, raising questions about how readers perceive and attribute textual origin. As this sociolinguistic issue is recognized by people, the study presented in this paper was initiated from a collaboration between professional researchers and citizens engaging in encounters discussing language-related social issues. Following a citizen sociolinguistic approach, w…
Pathways to ethical subjectivity: Participant transformation in tripartite collaborative research
Starting from the intersection of collaborative approaches and decoloniality, this article focuses on the role of ethical subjectivity and its emphasis on love, care, and hope in both decolonial thinking and collaborative research, as pathways to relinquishing power and redistributing resources. We present a ‘tripartite’ collaborative linguistic ethnographic project from a town in Hungary, which involves the collaboration of university-based part…

Researching dialects with high school students: A citizen science approach
Citizen science as a form of inquiry inviting nonprofessionals into different phases of the research process appeared in linguistics in the last decade. However, few such projects aim to study dialectal features, even though renewal would benefit dialectology. This methodological paper explores possible ways of applying citizen science in research on dialects. A specific small-scale study is presented which was conducted in the 2023/2024 academic…
Participatory sociolinguistics across researchers’ and participants’ language ideologies
The participatory approach is becoming more widespread in the social sciences and is also starting to take hold in the study of language in society. However, there has been little research done on how critical sociolinguistics can be linked to research that is based on the involvement and engagement of as many participants as possible at a level they find relevant for themselves. We argue that the academic separation between the ‘researcher’ and …

Collaborative research practices in the study of diasporisation: Chronotopes of dispersion among Hungarians in Catalonia
Diasporas and diasporisation have lately been at the centre of interest in sociolinguistic inquiry.Literature on the inclusion of diasporic speakers in academic knowledge production in connection with diasporas is scarce, although this would be of crucial importance to achieve 'thinking diaspora from below' (Rosa and Trivedi 2017."Diaspora and Language."In The Routledge Handbook of Migration and Language, edited by Suresh Canagarajah, 330-346.Lon…
Tanulságok és dilemmák a magyar főváros nyelvének vizsgálatában: Kontra Miklós és Borbély Anna (szerk.) (2021): Tanulmányok a budapesti beszédről: a Budapesti Szociolingvisztikai Interjú alapján. Buda…
Hogyan is beszélnek Budapesten? Ez a kérdés foglalkoztatott pár kutatót a Nyelvtudomány Intézetben az 1980-as évek derekán. Közös gondolkozásukból született a Budapesti Szociolingvisztikai Interjú című kutatás, amelyről 2021-ben készült összefoglaló igényű tanulmánykötet. Ebben a recenzióban azt mutatom be, hogy kinek is szól ez a kötet és milyen jelentősége van. A Budapesti Szociolingvisztikai Interjú interdiszciplináris vállalkozás volt, amely …
Participation in sociolinguistic research
Involving speakers in research on their linguistic practices has been at the core of sociolinguistics since the inception of the field. In contrast to social sciences, however, sociolinguists have rarely addressed the issues surrounding the participation of those involvedandengaged in the research process. This paper aims at reviewing the state of the art and outlining critical dimensions and aspects with relation to participation. We explore pre…
Voices of masculinity: Men’s talk in Hungarian university dormitories
Research on language and masculinity has been imbued with a paradoxical juxtaposition of seeing White heterosexual men and their language as a ‘default’ and the paucity of empirical studies on what these men actually do in their everyday linguistic practices. This article examines the multivoicedness of masculinities in a specific local context. We analyze Hungarian male university students’ spontaneous conversations, recently recorded in the Bud…
Solomon Islander skin pigmentation: Ultrastructural differences related to genetic variation in Melanesia
Genetic differences between Solomon Islander populations are distinguishable on the basis of melanosome packaging in epidermal keratinocytes. By electron microscopic study of skin pigmentation in various Melanesian populations, we have found distinct inter‐island differences in the mode of melanosome packaging. Melanosomes are found as singlets in the skin of Bougainville Islanders but are found aggregated in melanosome complexes in Malaita Islan…
A quantitative and morphological study of the pigmentary system of the chimpanzee with the light and electron microscope
The epidermal melanocyte system of the chimpanzee was studied by the combined skin‐splitting DOPA, and electron microscopic techniques. It is very similar to man. There are DOPA‐positive epidermal melanocytes in all body regions regardless of the degree of macroscopic skin pigmentation or hirsutism. Furthermore, as in man, but in contrast to rodents, chimpanzee skin contains a very high level of melanocytes in the epidermis; approximately 3,320 ±…
The effects of single gene substitution on the mammalian melanocyte system—a qualitative and quantitative histological study in the C57BL and DBL mice
About 160 skin samples from the tail, sole, palm, ear and scrotum of DBL and C57BL/St mice were “split” with NaBr and treated with DOPA. A quantitative and qualitative microscopic analysis showed that: (a) the two strains did not differ consistently in the frequency of epidermal or dermal melanocytes; nor did the sexes differ from each other in this respect; (b) the melanocytes of the two strains differed morphologically. The DBL melanocytes were…
