The present paper aims to describe intensification and intensifying modification in Hittite, a member of the Anatolian sub-branch of the extensive Indo-European family. Particular attention will be devoted to the following two questions: i) Which are the most widespread means of intensification in Hittite? and ii) Which linguistic levels are involved in the expression of intensification (phonological, grammatical, lexical, pragmatic or textual)? Using a corpus-based approach, the study integrates both quantitative and qualitative observations from a theoretical perspective that provides a semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic account of the intensification markers in different documented texts and genres in Hittite.

Abstract

The present paper aims to describe intensification and intensifying modification in Hittite, a member of the Anatolian sub-branch of the extensive Indo-European family. Particular attention will be devoted to the following two questions: i) Which are the most widespread means of intensification in Hittite? and ii) Which linguistic levels are involved in the expression of intensification (phonological, grammatical, lexical, pragmatic or textual)? Using a corpus-based approach, the study integrates both quantitative and qualitative observations from a theoretical perspective that provides a semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic account of the intensification markers in different documented texts and genres in Hittite.
