<P>This volume incorporates linguistic studies made by both Nepali and
international scholars. It is a collection of work by over thirty contributors
who have made in-depth study of language in the Himalayan kingdom. The
linguistic and cultural diversity that is such a prominent aspect of this
country has attracted many scholars. Since its inception the Royal Nepal Academy
has served as a centre for the study of the arts and cultures of Nepal. The
Academy has published many works in pursuit of its goal of preserving the
cultures of Nepal and enriching scientific knowledge. The current volume is
another worthy contribution to the Academy's publication programme.</P>
<P>The contributions in the volume are quite diverse, and are grouped according
to the area of linguistics they address, viz. field description, phonology,
morphophonology, morphology and syntax, historical and comparative linguistics,
sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics, and contrastive studies (see over for
