Lectures presented by prof. Craig Melchert and Dita Fratikova PhD.: This course, suitable for anyone interested in the Indo-European languages of ancient Anatolia or in the Near East <br>
area as such, will provide insight into the linguistic features of the oldest recorded Indo-European language. It will <br>
provide a brief introduction to cuneiform and focus on the status of Anatolian languages, their phonological and <br>
morphological features and more general issues concerning their speakers. The course will be structured in an <br>
unusual way: In one week in November, prof. Craig Malchert, co-author of the Grammar of Hittite Language and the <br>
world´s high ranked specialist in Anatolian, will present in Celetná, Prague, six lectures on Anatolian. The other <br>
lectures (7) will be taught by Dita Frantíková, PhD. in time slots as shown in the Schedule (which will implicitly <br>
cover only the first half of the semester). The materials for the classes will consist from a great part of handouts. <br>
<br>
Both the attendance and written test are required for completion of the course.<br>
