expressed in the linguistic terminology of public language and also in
proverbs and stock phrases devoted to the language and its use (how to
speak, listen etc.). Russian-Hungarian agreements (and disagreements)

are examined in the article. Monolingual-dictionaries of both languages
and also Russian and Hungarian proverbs and stock phrases containing
this technical term are used as materials.
