Syntax of Hittite imma
2020
Overview
Imma is attested in Hittite lexis as an adverb, a focus particle, and a part of free choice pronouns kui- imma (kui-) \"whatever.\" Whereas it is obvious that imma as purl of kui-imma {kui-) should nol be directly equated with the focus particle or adverb imma, it is also obvious that in its origin it is clearly the same as focusing imma. As for the synchronic semantic identity of imma as part of free choice pronouns and the focus particle, naturally this cannot be clearly demonstrated for Hittite, but it should be seen in the cross-linguistic context where additive focus panicles frequently and synchronically productively combine with interrogative pronouns lo form indefinite pronouns of various types, including free choice pronouns. Here, Sideltsev examines both imma in free choice pronouns and imma as a particle/adverb, keeping them distinct but systematically confronting their syntax.
