Book Synopsis The Tamil Auxiliary Verb System by : Sanford B. Steever
Download or read book The Tamil Auxiliary Verb System written by Sanford B. Steever and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the syntactic process of auxiliary formation and applies it to the grammatical analysis of the indicative, or non-modal, auxiliary verbs of Modern Tamil. Using data from spoken and written registers gathered over several years, the book demonstrates for the first time the systematic nature of auxiliary verb phenomena, and how they are integrated into the grammar of the language. Including fresh information on new verb constructions, verbal categories and tenses, this book will be a welcome addition to the current general linguistics literature, in particular the study of verbal categories and the morphosyntactic processes that instantiate them.

Book Synopsis A Reference Grammar of Spoken Tamil by : Harold F. Schiffman
Download or read book A Reference Grammar of Spoken Tamil written by Harold F. Schiffman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-10-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reference grammar of the standard spoken variety of Tamil, a language with 65 million speakers in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore. The spoken variety is radically different from the standard literary variety, last standardized in the thirteenth century. The standard spoken language is used by educated people in their interactions with people from different regions and different social groups, and is also the dialect used in films, plays and the media. This book, a much expanded version of the author s Grammar of Spoken Tamil (1979), is the first such grammar to contain examples both in Tamil script and in transliteration, and the first to be written so as to be accessible to students studying the modern spoken language as well as to linguists and other specialists. The book has benefitted from extensive native-speaker input and the author s own long experience of teaching Tamil to English-speakers.

Book Synopsis A Reference Grammar of Classical Tamil Poetry by : V. S. Rajam
Download or read book A Reference Grammar of Classical Tamil Poetry written by V. S. Rajam and published by American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reference tool for those who seek an understanding of the structure of classical Tamil poetry. This poetry reflects indigenous literary and cultural traditions of southern India, and therefore, a study of it is imperative for obtaining a balanced view of India's past and present cultures. The language which produced this poetry, Tamil, is the only living language of modern India that has an uninterrupted history spanning more than two millennia, and therefore, a study of it becomes even more crucial for a thorough understanding of India's linguistic complexity. Includes a bibliography.

Book Synopsis Textual Parameters in Older Languages by : Susan C. Herring
Download or read book Textual Parameters in Older Languages written by Susan C. Herring and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-23 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Textual Parameters in Older Languages takes a contemporary approach to the inherent limitations of using older texts as data for linguistic analysis, drawing on methods of text analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics to supplement traditional historical and philological methods. The focus of the book is on the importance of controlling for textual parameters-defined by the editors as dimensions of variation associated with texts and their production, including text type, degree of poeticality, orality, and dialect-in the analysis of older language data. Failure to do so can result in invalid generalizations; recognizing the influence of textual parameters, conversely, raises a myriad of issues for the practice and theory of historical linguistics. The 12 essays in this collection apply this approach in analyses of anaphora, non-finite verbal forms, particles, punctuation, word order and other phenomena in a wide range of languages including Ancient Tamil, Sanskrit, Latin, Heian Japanese, Medieval Greek, Old French, Old Russian, Middle English, and Modern Danish. An in-depth introduction by the editors lays out the goals of the textual parameters approach, and considers the methodological and theoretical consequences of the evidence presented in the book as a whole.

Book Synopsis A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian Languages by : Mikhail Sergeevich Andronov
Download or read book A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian Languages written by Mikhail Sergeevich Andronov and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to their crucial role one of the major tasks in modern South Asia linguistics is the research of the historical view of the Dravidian Languages. A knowledge of the Dravidian language structure in all its development stages, from their earliest beginnings to today, is necessary for understanding numerous fundamental aspects with the emergence of the indoarian, Munda and other languages of south Asia and of course for the history of the Dravidian language family itself. The Comparative Grammar forms an important part of the historical linguistics. Yet Richard Caldwell's Comparative Grammar of Dravidian or South Indian Family of Languages (London, 1856, 2/1875, 3/1913) is outdated. An up to date comparative grammar of the Dravidian languages therefore was long overdue. With the work of the renowned Russian Dravidian scientist Mikhail S. Andronov, in which the over 80 known, investigated and described languages and dialects of the Dravidian language family are taken in consideration, this gap has been closed.

With its comprehensive coverage this book will be welcomed by all students of Dravidian languages and will be of interest to linguists in various branches of the discipline as well as Indologists.
