A multidimensional study of Hattian texts
The problem of the analysis of the Hattian monolingual texts with the involvement of the data of the Abkhaz-Adyghe languages and the extra-linguistic, ethnic and cultural factors is considered. The a-priori denial of phylogenetic relationships between the Hattian and Abkhaz-Adyghe languages by some scientists requires a theoretical substantiation and a practical solution to this issue. On the basis of sound correlations, the correspondences of the Hattian and Abkhaz-Adyghe root morphemes are established, which have the same or similar meaning. Criteria for the interpretation of the homonymic component of Hattian texts are identified on the basis of a comparison of repeated words and word forms in different contexts. Confirmation of the commonality of the compared languages is of great importance for both general and Caucasian linguistics. The Abkhaz-Adyghe languages are newly written, and the study of the ways of their historical development is fraught with significant difficulties. Comparison of the Hattian and Abkhaz-Adyghe morphemes will reveal the changes that have occurred in the phonetic, lexical and grammatical systems of the Abkhaz-Adyghe languages.
