2026 Interaction of scope and cliticization domain: The case of Hittite enclitic markers Journal of Historical Linguistics: Online-First Articles | Article
The paper deals with how syntax of coordination interacts with the second position constraint. It is claimed, on the basis of Hittite data, that the cliticization scope of the enclitic coordinator can be limited to its complement with the exclusion of its (inner) specifier. This aspect of the… read more
2024 Insubordination and what happens after it: Evidence from Hittite Diachronica 41:4, pp. 482–524 | Article

The development, amply documented cross-linguistically, is that of insubordination: a former marker of subordination is used as an irrealis marker in… read more
2023 Relative construction in Hittite: A corpus-based case study in syntax-prosody interface Journal of Historical Linguistics 13:3, pp. 375–460 | Article
The paper proposes a novel structural analysis of Hittite determinate relative clauses on the basis of a corpus study considering a wider and fuller array of Hittite data than ever before. In Hittite, relative wh-phrases attest a wide range of linear positions: first/initial, clause-second,… read more

In Old/Middle Hittite they cliticize in the Wackernagel position, but they are delayed to the next word by nu, mān,… read more
2016 Hittite Anaphora: Two Case Studies Archív Orientální 84:1, pp. 75–104 | Article
Two aspects of anaphora in Hittite are discussed in this paper. The first is a syntactic means of marking immediate anaphora after the first mention. Besides fronting a constituent hosting -a/ma and demonstrative phrases, it is shown that this specific type of anaphora is also marked by the… read more
