Description
By F. A. TJERKSTRA. Cuneiform Monographs, vol. 15. Groningen: STYX PUBLICATIONS, 1999. Pp. xii + 204. HF1 150. Hittite possesses a class of adverbial elements pertaining to location, including anda "in(to)," katta "down(wards)," and ser "upwards, on top," that are variously termed preverbs, adpositions, or local adverbs. The varied nomenclature reflects the diversity of functions and syntactic behavior that they famously exhibit and that have been the subject of numerous studies from Hrozny's time on. The book under review is an important addition to that literature, investigating the local adverbs specifically in their relationships to a set of key verbs and to sentence particles.
