4. Questions of syntax.

Mastery of the Luwian language, a sister language of Hittite, and an introduction to Hurrian and Hattic.

At the end of this course, the student will be capable to read and translate a Luwian text, and to begin to read a text in Hurrian or Hattic. To achieve this goal, he will have learnt the Luwian hieroglyphic script, as well as the vocabulary and grammar of these languages.

Continuous evaluation during the year.

Written exam of an unseen text followed by its oral correction.

The part "Initiation" takes the form of lectures.

The texts prepared by the students are corrected and are the subject of grammatical, historic and cultural commentaries.

The lectures of LGLOR2772 (2012-2013) are relating to the careful study of hieroglyphic luwian inscriptions from the end of the second millenium B.C. The teaching is magistral with the cooperation of the students who receive a syllabus. The knowledge of the hittite language is necessarly. The evaluation is continual.
