PhD, Dr.habil.

 

Andrej Sideltsev’s research interest is the Hittite language, currently the syntax of Hittite in three perspectives: synchronic and descriptive, diachronic (Anatolian and Indo-European) and theoretical (generative linguistics).

Main points of interest have recently been the following ones:

  • second position (clitics vs stressed elements of the second position; multiple second positions; intraclausal second position effects; with particular emphasis of the particles -(m)a (marking contrast as well as contrastive topic and focus), -wa(r) (quotative), imma (focus), -pat (focus), clitic order in the enclitic chain);
  • argument clitics (with E.A. Lyutikova);
  • non-finite verb forms (participles and infinitives) (argument marking with infinitive, active and passive participles) (with E.A. Lyutikova);
  • word order (word order and information structure, cartography);
  • indefinite pronouns;
  • irrealis marker man;
  • complex sentence.

Earlier interests included morphonology, aspect, clitic doubling in Hittite, philological editions of Hittite texts (with A.S. Kassian and A.A.Korolev).

PhD «Hittite verbs with the suffix -ske- against the Indo-European background» (1999), scientific advisor A.A.Korolev.
