Abstract:

This book is the first comprehensive study of the Vedic present formations
with the suffix  'ya'  (' 'ya'-presents' for short), including both present
passives with the accented suffix 'yá'  and non-passive -'ya'-presents with
the accent on the root (class IV in the Indian tradition). It offers a
complete survey of all  'ya'-presents attested in the Vedic corpus. The
main issue in the spotlight of this monograph is the relationship between
form (accent placement, diathesis) and function (passive/non-passive) in
the system of the 'ya'-presents - one of the most solidly attested present
classes in Sanskrit. One of the aims of the present study is to corroborate
the systematic correlation between accent placement and the
passive/non-passive distinction: passives bear the accent on the suffix,
while non-passives have the accent on the root. The book also focuses on
the position of the passive within the system of voices and
valency-changing categories in Old Indo-Aryan.
