Reviews"In this second edition of A Grammar of the Hittite Language , Melchert superbly synthesizes the substantially increased knowledge of all aspects of Hittite grammar since the first edition in 2008, regularly adding his own original grammatical insights. The discussion excellently represents the state of the art while also making clear that much work still needs to be done. The book is a must-read for Hittitologists and Indo-Europeanists." --Petra Goedegebuure,senior editor of The Chicago Hittite Dictionary, "In this second edition of A Grammar of the Hittite Language , Melchert superbly synthesizes the substantially increased knowledge of all aspects of Hittite grammar since the first edition in 2008, regularly adding his own original grammatical insights.
