Abstract
The paper deals with lexicalisation of focus particles -pat and imma in Hittite, i.e. the use of the particles as word building means of deriving different classes of indefinite pronouns. Whereas the particles are shown to lexicalize differently (imma is a marker of free choice indefinite pronouns and -pat occurs disproportionately often with demonstrative pronouns), there is an overlap of their lexicalisation in the free choice sphere.
Acknowledgement
I am grateful to J. Hazenbos, A. Kozlov, O. Mitrenina and M. Molina for discussing the data. Being the scientific advisor for M. Molina’s PhD dissertation (Molina 2018) and discussing the data on the semantics and syntax of -pat with her served as the initial stimulus for looking at the lexicalisation of -pat, which was itself out of scope of her work based on a smaller corpus of letters and instructions. Naturally, all possible errors are mine. The work is supported by the grant RSF 18-18-00503.
