  Research: Formulaic style in the XVI century Hungarian Epic.
  •The epic song (históriás ének) is the most prevalent and representative expression of the Hungarian poetry of the Sixteenth century, and it was intended to be recited with musical accompaniment. During the second half of the century these epic songs (rewritings of antique texts, short stories and novels written in verse) were performer at the noble courts where the audience was still inexperienced in literature and well disposed towards the oral communication. These songs were stylistically made according to the expectations of that audience: they contain a remarkable quantity of formulaic iterations and constructions, repeated locutions, etc. even if the rhetorical structure of these texts slowly surpasses the limits of the formulaic style.
  My current research on Hungarian historical songs concerns the analysis of all of the poems’ repetitions and formulas and their distribution.
  With the aid of the computer and of the concordance I can get the formulaic and repetitive repertoire of the texts in order to point out the semantic field in which these structures are collocated and I can check also the number of occurrence of each repetition.
