Abstract:

The field of South Asian linguistics has undergone considerable growth and
advancement in recent years, as a wider and more diverse range of languages
have become subject to serious linguistic study, and as advancements in
theoretical linguistics are applied to the rich linguistic data of South Asia.
In this growth and diversity, it can be difficult to retain a broad grasp on
the current state of the art, and to maintain a sense of the underlying unity
of the field. This volume brings together twenty articles by leading scholars
in South Asian linguistics, which showcase the cutting-edge research currently
being undertaken in the field, and offer the reader a comprehensive
introduction to the state of the art in South Asian linguistics. The
contributions to the volume focus primarily on syntax and semantics, but also
include important contributions on morphological and phonological questions.
The contributions also cover a wide range of languages, from well-studied
Indo-Aryan languages such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Bangla and Panjabi, through
Dravidian languages to endangered and understudied Tibeto-Burman languages.
This collection is a must-read for all scholars interested in current trends
and advancements in South Asian linguistics.
