This volume brings together the culmination of philological andlinguistic work undertaken by a wide range of experts in the Anatolian languages. The research papers published here cover practically theentire linguistic and chronological spectrum of the Anatolian group of Indo-European languages, without neglecting important interactionswith languages from other cultural environments, among which theSemitic group stands out. The publication can therefore be regarded as a valuable contribution to Anatolian and Indo-European studies,reflecting the persistant and sustained efforts of a group ofresearchers with a broad array of interests, some of whom have manyyears of research behind them and are well known in the field. Theyhave now been joined by new scholars, who enable us to foresee apromising future for our disciplines.
