Abstract:

Advances in South Asian Linguistics

Ghanshyam Sharma & John J. Lowe (eds.)
INALCO, Paris; Oriental Institute, Oxford

South Asian linguistics is a growing and rapidly advancing field,
where sophisticated linguistic analysis of well-studied languages sits
alongside ongoing description and initial linguistic study of
previously undescribed languages. The rich diversity of the South
Asian linguistic area offers up a constant source of new linguistic
data, including new challenges to existing theoretical linguistic
analyses which have been developed on the basis of typologically very
different European languages.  This volume consists of a select set of
research papers on South Asian linguistics, several of which were
presented at the 35th South Asian Languages Analysis in Paris, in
October 2019.
These papers, written by leading scholars in South Asian linguistics,
attest a diverse range of theoretical perspectives and analytical
frameworks, while focusing on important issues in South Asian
linguistics, showcasing the breadth of research currently being
undertaken in the field. The contributions to the volume range from
syntax, semantics and phonology to language description and areal
typology, and cover a wide range of languages, from well-studied
Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi and Bangla, through the Dravidian
language Tamil to the understudied Tibeto-Burman language Baram.
