Sinossi
Excerpt from Introduction to Prakrit
The specimens of Pali and of old Prakrit are intended as inducements to further study.
Modern forms have been occasionally quoted to show the historical continuity of words from ancient times. The student should be able to connect up a much larger number of forms from his mother tongue.
The Index is intended partly for convenience of reference, and partly to provide an instrument by which one may test one's ability to explain forms, and to recognize them out of their context.
Transliteration. The Roman script has been used for several reasons. Over a dozen years of teaching experience has convinced the writer that the slovenly spelling, so prevalent in both Roman and Devanagari scripts, is partly due to the fact that Hindi and Sanskrit are written in the same script, but with slightly different sound-values. A word written in Deva nagri may be pronounced as in Sanskrit or as in Hindi, e.g.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploratory introduction to Prakrit, an important group of ancient Indian languages that developed out of Sanskrit. Prakrit was not, however, merely a 'simplified' or 'vulgar' form of Sanskrit, but a distinct group of languages with their own unique grammatical features, literary traditions and socio-historical contexts. The author traces the development of Prakrit through its various stages, from its earliest traces in ancient Indian inscriptions to the highly codified literary Prakrits, demonstrating the diversity of forms that Prakrit took in different regions and periods of time. A key feature of this book is its analysis of the deep-rooted relationship between Prakrit and Sanskrit, with the author providing detailed explanations of how Prakrit was both a continuation of and a departure from its parent language. The book concludes with a thought-provoking examination of the significance of Prakrit within the broader context of Indian linguistic and literary history, demonstrating that Prakrit was not a mere stepping-stone to later developments, but a vibrant and dynamic linguistic phenomenon in its own right. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9780282337360_0
