Description:

The present article concentrates on an analysis of the structure of the opening passages and means of address in the Amarna Letters, one of the largest sources of epistolary documents, written during the 2nd half of the 2nd millennium B.C. From the first look at the Amarna corrpus, those familiar with the topic will notice a formal structure very similar to the one found in other letters written in Peripheral Akkadian. However, the discussion on the formal structure usually limits itself to several short statements and general descriptive comments.
