Abstract:

Anatolian is an extraordinary branch of the Indo-European language family.
Attested in cuneiform, hieroglyphic and alphabetic texts dating back to the
first two millennia BCE, it is intriguing already by itself. But Anatolian is
also of central importance for the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European, the
last common ancestor of the Indo-European language family. Not only is it the
earliest attested branch, it has also long been suspected that Anatolian
reflects an earlier stage of the proto-language than that underlying the other
members of the family.

Focusing on the three best-attested Anatolian languages, Hittite, Luwian and
Lycian, this book aims to further our knowledge and understanding of
Anatolian, and by extension Proto-Indo-European, by offering in-depth analyses
of essential issues in Anatolian historical morphology and semantics. Various
well-known debated issues as well as several newly adduced topics are
scrutinized in detail to determine whether the innovations leading to the
discrepancies with the rest of Indo-European took place on the Anatolian or on
the non-Anatolian side.
The present study suggests that Anatolian is in many respects closer to the
ancestor of the other Indo-European languages than it is often claimed to be.
Nevertheless, the investigation has also led to new evidence in favor of the
hypothesis that Anatolian was the first branch to split off from the family.
