Abstract

The paper offers an analysis of the lyrics of Magam adom ’I’m giving myself’ produced by the Hungarian alternative rock band Quimby, arguing that the text can be fruitfully exploited by pedagogical linguistics. Drawing on but also taking issue with previous interpretations of the song by other linguists, the author highlights the following aspects of the tightly woven lyrics of Magam adom: (i) the demonstration of how Hungarian verbs can act as finite clauses by themselves, expressing highly complex meanings, (ii) the intricate network of phonological, semantic and morphological connections, which lends itself to analysis in Bybee’s morphological theory, and (iii) the interaction of various constructions derived from ad ’give’ that motivate a rich, emotionally ambiguous discursive meaning of the pattern megadom magam.
