Interpreting Some Aspects of Sanskrit Grammar

Anirban Dash, Ph.D.

This monograph Interpreting Some Aspects of Sanskrit Grammar is a compilation of some of the articles Dr. Anirbhan Dash published some years ago in Language in India www.languageinindia.com.

Interpreting Some Aspects of Sanskrit Grammar is written with great insight and is intended both for the learners of and experts in Sanskrit grammar.

The impact of Sanskrit as a standard language over languages belonging to the Indo-Aryan family and over the languages of other Indian families of languages such as Dravidian and Tibeto-Burman is well-known. Phonological, Morphological, Lexical, Syntactic and Semantic features have been adapted to suit the structures of many Indian languages. Script format of Sanskrit has been adopted in many Indian languages. Literary works in Sanskrit are also adopted or re-created in many Indian languages.

Sanskrit offers a long tradition of grammatical analysis by native Sanskrit scholars/sages. This monograph Interpreting Some Aspects of Sanskrit Grammar presents and discusses how some leading Sanskrit grammarians dealt with various aspects of Sanskrit grammar. The study offers useful insights focusing on similarities and differences between traditional grammarians of Sanskrit.

Dr. Anirbhan Dash is a very active researcher of Sanskrit grammar and grammatical traditions. He presently focuses also on the teaching of Sanskrit to Tibetan scholars and for scholars from other nations. We look forward to his future works in the fields of Sanskrit teaching as well.
