Akkadian and Hittite Emotion in Context (AHEC)–Towards a Lexicon of Emotions in Cuneiform Texts from ancient Mesopotamia and Asia Minor

该研究项目对阿卡迪亚语和赫梯语的情感语义域进行了全面的研究。它将系统地探讨情感在两种语言中是如何在语言和语境上进行区分和界定的；研究将包括不同情感术语之间的语义属性、相似性和关系，以及它们在不同语篇类型、不同时期和不同语境中的使用和发展。拟议的项目以专题为重点，采用语料库-语言学的比较方法，将为与其他语言学和历史学科合作开辟新的可能性，进一步扩大古代近东研究的范围，并突出其相关性，为最近非常活跃的研究领域作出重要贡献。

The research project pursues a comprehensive study of the semantic domain of emotions in both Akkadian and Hittite. It will systematically explore how emotions have been linguistically and contextually differentiated and delimited in the two languages; the research will include the semantic properties, similarities and relations between different emotion terms, their uses and developments in different text genres, periods and contexts. With its thematic focus and its comparative, corpus-linguistic approach, the proposed project will open up new possibilities for collaboration with other philological and historical disciplines, further expand the scope of Ancient Near Eastern Studies and highlight its relevance by making an important contribution to a recent and extremely vibrant field of research.
