Overview
(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Reviews: The Ancient Near East Epistemic modality, - simply put, a certain marked relation of the speaker to the certainty of his words - has never been the subject of systematic research in Assyriology. The author collected c. 660 attestations of modal particles, but for obvious reasons only a few of the contexts are quoted (the complete list of attestations of each particle is given at the end of the relevant chapter). In the vein of studies on Akkadian grammar, it is important to highlight among the author's conclusions (pp. 208-15) the correlation between the usage of specific modal particles, the verbal tenses and the negation particle in the sentence, as well as the tendency of most modal particles to follow a topicalizing phrase.
