- Abstract
The agreement patterns for conjoined singular nouns and pronouns in Hittite being already explored (Brosch 2013), the present article based on a collection of more than 200 examples from Old to Late New Hittite original manuscripts adds the findings for coordinations of mixed number and plural nouns and pronouns.These corroborate the interpretations put forward in the first paper, as it is shown again that while in the domain of the attribute one always finds plural resolution of the target, in the other domains there are two different patterns based on a semantic distinction between controllers of animate and inanimate reference.While the former can (but need not) show resolution, the latter's targets usually agree only with the nearest noun of the coordinated controllers, hence appearing in the singular. Only a small number of types show special rules, which are clarified in this paper.
