Admission requirements
The students must either have previously taken the course Hittite or ‘Anatolian Languages: Hittite and Luwian, or take one of these courses during the same semester as Anatolian Historical Linguistics.
Description
The Anatolian language branch (to which, among others, Hittite, Palaic, Cuneiform-Luwian, Hierogrlyphic Luwian, Lycian, Lydian and Carian belong) occupies a special place within the study of Indo-European, because it has retained many archaic characteristics.
In this course, we will extensively treat the linguistic analysis of Hittite and its affiliation to the other Anatolian languages (especially Cuneiform Luwian, Hieroglyphic Luwian and Lycian), as well as the significance of Anatolian for the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European.
Course objectives
1) Students have knowledge of the most important aspects of the linguistic prehistory of Hittite and the other Anatolian languages;
2) Students are able to independently interpret and contextualise scholarly literature on this topic.
