Seiten 39 - 67
DOI https://doi.org/10.13173/zeitdeutmorggese.171.1.0039
This article offers a holistic corpus-driven analysis of the lexical class of
interjections in Canaano-Akkadian. The authors demonstrate that the interjective
category contains at least seven members (
varying semantic (emotive, conative and phatic) and formal (primary and
secondary) properties. The observed properties generally corroborate the
synchronic and diachronic tendencies associated with interjections in linguistic
typology.
