Writing an academic text can be challenging for English learners, including Indonesian students studying at Hungarian Universities (HUs). These students must learn to write in a second language while mastering grammatical structures and lexical resources, as well as distinguishing between academic English and conversational English in terms of conventional words, phrases,and sentence structures.This study is aimed at examining students’ experiences in English academic writing during their master

This dissertation explores the syntax of subsententials in Hindi/Urdu (H/U), with an empirical focus on sluicing and fragment answers. Such phenomena represent instances where all clausal material is unpronounced, except for a (wh-)phrase (e.g., A: Who did John see? B: Mary.). With evidence from various connectivity effects, I argue that a non-structuralist analysis of such configurations, which does not assume the presence of tacit material, is untenable. Rather, subsententials in this language
