Download Historical Grammar of Apabhraṁśa Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Apabhramsa forms the previous stage of modern Indo-Aryan languages like Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali etc., its study is essential not only for its literature but also for the formation of modern Indian languages. The present volume is a chrono-regional study of nearly all the edited Apabhramsa texts available. The Apabhramsa texts were classified according to the place of their composition and the linguistic data was arranged in a chronological sequence and thus the space-time context of each forms was determined. After illuminating the term Apabhramsa and fixing its period and classifying the texts in their space-time context, the author offers a general conspectus of the phonological and morphological features of Apabhramsa in the Introduction. Then follow sections on Phonology, Declension, Conjugation, Nominal Stem-formation according to diachronic method connecting the evolved linguistic features to its modern descendant wherever possible. The work ends with an Index Verborum which lists all the words occurring in the study with their Sanskrit and Prakrit etymologies as well as references to their cognates in the modern Indo-Aryan. As Dr. Siddheshwar Varma says, ''It is the history of Indo-Aryan between A.D. 500-1200.''

Download Transitive Nouns and Adjectives Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book explores the wealth of evidence from early Indo-Aryan for the existence of transitive nouns and adjectives, a rare linguistic phenomenon which, according to some categorizations of word classes, should not occur. John Lowe shows that most transitive nouns and adjectives attested in early Indo-Aryan cannot be analysed as a type of non-finite verb category, but must be acknowledged as a distinct constructional type. The volume provides a detailed introduction to transitivity (verbal and adpositional), the categories of agent and action noun, and to early Indo-Aryan. Four periods of early Indo-Aryan are selected for study: Rigvedic Sanskrit, the earliest Indo-Aryan; Vedic Prose, a slightly later form of Sanskrit; Epic Sanskrit, a form of Sanskrit close to the standardized 'Classical' Sanskrit; and Pali, the early Middle Indo-Aryan language of the Buddhist scriptures. John Lowe shows that while each linguistic stage is different, there are shared features of transitive nouns and adjectives which apply throughout the history of early Indo-Aryan. The data is set in the wider historical context, from Proto-Indo-European to Modern Indo-Aryan, and a formal linguistic analysis of transitive nouns and adjectives is provided in the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar.

Download The Indo-Aryan Controversy Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
For the first time in a single volume, this book presents the various arguments in the Indo-Aryan controversy. It also provides a template for the basic issues addressing four major areas: archaeological research, linguistic issues, the interpretation of Vedic texts in their historical contexts, and ideological roots. The volume ends with a plea for a return to civility in the debates which have become increasingly, and unproductively, politicized, and suggests a program of research and inquiry upon which scholars from all sides of the debate might embark.

Download The Indo-Aryan Languages Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The Indo-Aryan languages are spoken by at least 700 million people throughout India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldive Islands. They have a claim to great antiquity, with the earliest Vedic Sanskrit texts dating to the end of the second millennium B.C. With texts in Old Indo-Aryan, Middle Indo-Aryan and Modern Indo-Aryan, this language family supplies a historical documentation of language change over a longer period than any other subgroup of Indo-European. This volume is divided into two main sections dealing with general matters and individual languages. Each chapter on the individual language covers the phonology and grammar (morphology and syntax) of the language and its writing system, and gives the historical background and information concerning the geography of the language and the number of its speakers.

Download Aryan and Non-Aryan in India Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The history and mechanisms of the convergence of ancient Aryan and non-Aryan cultures has been a subject of continuing fascination in many fields of Indology. The contributions to Aryan and Non-Aryan in India are the fruit of a conference on that topic held in December 1976 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under the auspices of the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies. The express object of the conference was to examine the latest findings from a variety of disciplines as they relate to the formation and integration of a unified Indian culture from many disparate cultural and ethnic elements.

Download The Aryan Problem, a Linguistic Approach Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Description: The Aryan Problem-a Linguistic Approach presents fresh linguistic evidence to solve several complications of the issue. Archaeological evidence is also presented side by side when it has been considered to be complimentary to the linguistic evidence. The Aryan problem is attacked chiefly with a revolutionary reassessment of the date of Rigveda on the basis of fresh linguistic evidence assisted by the Archaeological evidence. The date of Rigveda has been proved to be beyond 5000 BC. The revised date of Rigveda solves several other problems; for example the Indus civilization naturally comes late than the Vedic civilization. Since fresh Archaeological evidence proves Indus civilization to be Aryan; but according to the revised date of Rigveda, the Indus civilization indicates the Puranic stage or a later stage. The original home of Indo-European has also been reconsidered and it has been shown that it was possible for the Aryans to go to other parts of Indo-European area from India. The evidence of the migration of the Gypsies gives a clue to the change of Proto Indo-European a to a, e, o in several Indo-European languages and to migrations from India in ancient days. A probable common origin of Indo-European and Dravidian has also been attempted. The work presents evidence of horse for Aryan migration from India to outside. Besides evidence of cotton, iron etc. have also been utilized for fixation of the date of Rigveda. Thus the work presents sufficient evidence for a reconsideration of several vital problems of Aryan migration.
