Description
Summary:The introduction to the article presents writing as a semiotic system by applying some key terms from Eco’s semiotics (1979) to Hittite writing. It then draws on modern case theory to describe case as a syntactic-semantic relationship which may be expressed by various means. The main part of the paper presents the different ways in which case could be expressed in Hittite writing. This paper is therefore only the beginning of research on case in Hittite writing. It offers a theoretical basis for further studies on this topic which will enable a more comprehensive understanding of the complex case system in Hittite.
