Sanskrit & Prakrit, Sociolinguistic IssuesMotilal Banarsidass Publ., 1993 - 230 σελίδες This volume brings together eight contributions of Professor Madhav M. Deshpande relating to the historical sociolinguistics of sanskrit and Prakrit languages. The studies brought together here represent his continuing research in this field after his 1979 book: Sociolinguistic Attitudes in India: An Historical Reconstruction. The main thrust of these studies is to show that patterns of language, including grammatical theories are deeply influenced by political, religious, geographical, and other sociohistorical factors. This is true as much of ancient languages as it is for modern languages. |

Σελίδα 1 - In the earliest period speakers of Indo-Aryan - Vedic and living Sanskrit - were concerned with neighboring languages, whether they were other varieties of Indo-Aryan or were non- Indo-Aryan; the historical dimension had hardly yet come into play.
