Description
Summary:This paper addresses the possibilities for further philological and linguistic studies of the Hattian text sources that will be feasible within the next few years. A digital searchable corpus of Hattian texts, in combination with a digital corpus of the Hittite texts, would open up new venues of research. These corpora will facilitate lexical, morphological and phonological studies as well as the reconstruction of text compositions with Hattian passages and of the tablets on which they were inscribed. It is hoped that the digital corpora will also aid in the potential identification of hitherto unrecognized correspondences between Hattian and Hittite texts.
