This paper presents an in-production Rhetorical Role Labeling (RRL) classifier developed for Hungarian judicial decisions. RRL is a sequential classification problem in Natural Language Processing, aiming to assign functional roles (such as facts, arguments, decision, etc.) to every segment or sentence in a legal document. The study was conducted on a human-annotated sentence-level RRL corpus and compares multiple neural architectures, including BiLSTM, attention-based networks, and a support vector machine as baseline. It further investigates the impact of late chunking during vectorization, in contrast to classical approaches. Results from tests on the labeled dataset and annotator agreement statistics are reported, and performance is analyzed across architecture types and embedding strategies. Contrary to recent findings in retrieval tasks, late chunking does not show consistent improvements for sentence-level RRL, suggesting that contextualization through chunk embeddings may introduce noise rather than useful context in Hungarian legal judgments. The work also discusses the unique structure and labeling challenges of Hungarian cases compared to international datasets and provides empirical insights for future legal NLP research in non-English court decisions.

This article seeks to identify the driving factors, features, and significance of the transformation of Salafism in contemporary Muslim societies, a development labeled ‘post-Salafism’. Throughout the 20th century, Salafism grew into a global religious movement, with distinctive local characteristics. Its post-Salafi transformations have likewise been diverse and reflect local conditions. ‘Post-Salafism’ is a term employed congruently to point at the fragmentation of Salafi religious authority; the emergence of Salafi alliances with other Muslim groups, which challenge Salafi conceptions of doctrinal superiority; in Salafi softening of sectarian rhetoric as a way of distancing from militant groups; in Salafi “indigenization”; and in social and political transformations that overlap with post-Islamism. Post-Salafism refers additionally to debates within Salafi circles, reflective of emerging internal doctrinal contradictions. Since the founding of Saudi Arabia in 1932, the kingdom has played a unique role in promoting, financing, and building the institutional network of global Salafism. The transformation of Saudi Salafism, therefore, resulting from changes in government policy, public pressure, and internal revisionism, will effect Salafism globally, pointing at a transformative moment in Muslim religious thought and authority structures.
