Abstract:
This monograph offers a new investigation of the Old Hittite sentence
connectives nu, šu, and ta, with a focus on their occurrence after subordinate
clauses. Although this phenomenon is well known to Hittitologists, a
comprehensive account of the synchronic function and the origin of this
peculiar construction is still missing. This work aims at partly fulfilling
this gap. Based on a detailed corpus analysis of original Old Hittite texts,
the occurrence of connectives after subordinate clauses is synchronically
investigated in order to assess its syntactic, semantics, or pragmatic
motivations. Both quantitative and qualitative data are taken into account,
and the discussion is framed within current trends in general and typological
linguistics. This study also takes a closer look at the origin of this
syntactic pattern, and discusses how the occurrence of connectives in
different syntactic environments can be diachronically motivated, taking into
consideration the diachronic typology of clause linkage strategies. Building
on evidence collected throughout the work, it is argued that a correct
understanding of the occurrence of connectives after subordinate clauses in
Old Hittite leads to useful insights explaining post-Old Hittite developments
in clause linkage, notably the expansion of nu and the eventual disappearance
of šu and ta.
