This monograph in Tamil investigates Tamil nouns on Historical Linguistic perspective. The monograph is organized into six chapters. They are briefly described below.
Chapter 1: Introduction
The introduction tells briefly about the aims and objectivities of the research work. Many researches have been undertaken to study the historical details of Tamil language. Tamil verbal bases have been studied from historical linguistic point of view by Rajendran. The present one aims to study nouns on historical perspective. This research does not study the historical development of nouns on the basis of demarcating the Tamil texts into old Tamil Texts, middle Tamil Texts and modern Tamil Texts. It simply studies the inflections and derivations of Sangam Tamil Texts and compares them with the present day Tamil pinpointing the difference between the two on historical linguistic perspective.
Chapter 2: The Earlier Studies on Tamil Nouns
There are many studies on Tamil nouns on historical perspective. They have been discussed here.
Nouns in Traditional Grammars
To start with the nouns in the Traditional grammar has to be discussed. This is done separately in the third chapter.
Dravidian Nouns
Shanmugarm (1971) studies nouns on comparative Dravidian perspective. He studies nouns under the headings gender-number, numbers, pronouns, inflectional increments, cases and lexicon. The book gives an overall idea about noun in Dravidian languages.
Nouns in Tamil
Kamaleswaran (1974) studies nouns on historical perspective for his PhD work. He classifies nouns into inherent nouns and derived nouns. He classifies the nouns derived from verbs into three types: 1. nouns derived by zero suffixation, 2. nouns derived by internal change and 3. nouns derived by suffixation. He goes on explaining them with examples form Sangam Tamil texts and modern Tamil sources. His descriptions on the formation of nouns have been discussed elaborately here.
Nominal Composition
‘Nominal Composition’ by Vijayavenugopal (1979) is another research work worthy of being discussed here.
Morphology: Noun Morphology
Morphology: Noun morphology by Agastiyalingom (1984) need to be discussed here.
Word-formation in Modern Tamil with Special Reference to Administrative Terms
The PhD research work of Maraimalai entitled “Word-formation in Modern Tamil with special reference to administrative terms” need to be discussed here.
A Reference Grammar of Classical Tamil
The research work entitled “A reference grammar of Classical Tami” is another important work which needs to be elaborately discussed here.
Word Formation in Tamil
The research work entitled “Word formation in Tamil” by Rajendran needs to be discussed elaborately here.
Chapter 3: Tamil Nouns in Traditional Grammars
An elaborate study is made here on treatment of nouns in traditional grammars like tolkaappiyam, nanuul, etc.
Chapter 4: Descriptive Study of Tamil Nouns
The descriptive study of Tamil nouns is made here. The inflection of nouns by case suffixes have been discussed by explaining the sandhi changes.
Chapter 5: Historical Linguistic Study of Tamil Nouns
This is the major chapter of this monograph. The word formation strategies in Sangam Tamil have been elaborately discussed. The strategies adopted in Sangam Tamil are compared with Modem Tamil and the historical changes have been explored. This is followed by a discussion on morphophonemics. The morphophonemcis of Sangam Tamil is studied elaborately and compared with the morphophonemics of modern Tamil and the changes are noted down. This is followed by a discussion on nouns in general. The pronouns in Sangam Tamil are compared with modern Tamil and the historical changes have been discussed. The inflectional bases in Tamil is studied and compared with the inflectional bases in modern Tamil. This is followed by a discussion on changes between Sangam Tamil and modern Tamil with regard to singular and plural distinction. A discussion on case suffixes and postpositions follows this. A comparison is made between the case suffixes and postpositions used in Sangam Tamil and modern Tamil and the historical changes are noted down. Next is on compound noun formation. The compound noun formation in Sangam Tamil is compared with compound noun formation in modern Tamil on historical linguistics perspective. A discussion on formation of nouns from adjectives follows this. The formation of de-adjetival nouns in Sangam Tamil is compared with the formation of de-adjectival nouns in modern Tamil on historical linguistics perspective. This is followed by a discussion on the derivation of nouns from verbs in Sangam Tamil and modern Tamil on historical linguistics perspective. Distinction is made between the participial nouns and verbal nouns. The formation of participial nouns and verbal nouns in Sangam Tamil and modern Tamil has been studied on historical linguistics perspective.
Chapter 6: Conclusion
