Alwin Kloekhorst (born 4 March 1978) is a Dutch linguist,Indo-Europeanist and Hittitologist. He was appointed a full professor in Anatolian Linguistics at Leiden University in November 2023. [1]
Kloekhorst received his Ph.D. in 2007 at Leiden University for his thesis on Hittite. In over 1200 pages,his dissertation describes the history of Hittite in the light of its Indo-European language origin. Part One,Towards a Hittite Historical Grammar,contains a description of Hittite phonology and a discussion of the sound laws and morphological changes that took place between the Proto-Indo-European and Hittite. Part Two,An Etymological Dictionary of the Hittite Inherited Lexicon,contains etymological treatments of all Hittite words of Indo-European origin. One of the dissertation's most important conclusions is the confirmation that the Anatolian languages split from Proto-Indo-European before all other Indo-European branches,which have undergone a period of common innovations (see Indo-Hittite). The thesis was published in the Leiden-based Indo-European Etymological Dictionary project. [1]
