Munshiram Manoharlal, 2002. - 262 p.
Second revised and enlarged edition with Index of S?tras (translated and explained)
Part 1 of a 6-volume series.
This volume examines the notions of grammar, rule, and derivation with reference to the A???dhy?y? as a grammatical device. An attempt has been made to clearly outline and illustrate the basic constructs of the P??inian linguistic theory especially as they relate to the traditional views on the one hand and mode linguistic orientations on the other. A developmental history of the P??inian school focusing on major texts and trend along with a detailed treatment of rule-types, paribh???s, and sam?sas, complement the discussion of derivational mechanism and related conventions.
This book is a reprint edition of vol.1, with a translation of rules in the Index and an updated bibliography. Vols II-VI contain the text of the A???dhy?y? with English translation, explanatory notes and complete derivational history of all forms cited as examples by the K??ik?v?tti.
