Abstract

In its internal structure every language contains a great deal of information. Important linguistic data may be revealed by studying such information. In a language like Sumerian, which has no other related language with which to draw parallels, this method of study turns out to be absolutely essential. The study of the actants and circumstants of «making» verbs such as /du3/, /tu/, /dim2/ and /ak/, in a context of representative texts such as the inscriptions on Gudea's monuments, can provide us with fundamental information about the basic meaning of these verbs.
