The Sanskrit Language
The Sanskrit Language presents a systematic and comprehensive historical account of the developments in phonology and morphology. This is the only book in English which treats the structure of the Sanskrit language in its relation to the other Indo-European languages and throws light on the significance of the discovery of Sanskrit. It is this discovery that contributed to the study of the comparative philology of the Indo-European languages and eventually the whole science of modern linguistics. Besides drawing on the works of Brugmann and Wackernagel, Professor Burrow incorporates in this book material from Hittite and taking into account various verbal constructions as found in Hittite, he relates the perfect form of Sanskrit to it. The profound influence that the Dravidian languages had on the structure of the Sanskrit language has also been presented lucidly and with a balanced perspective. In a nutshell, the present work can be called, without exaggeration, a pioneering endeavour in the field of linguistics and Indology.
World Philology
Philology—the discipline of making sense of texts—is enjoying a renaissance within academia after decades of neglect. World Philology charts the evolution of philology across the many cultures and historical time periods in which it has been practiced, and demonstrates how this branch of knowledge, like philosophy and mathematics, is an essential component of human understanding. Every civilization has developed ways of interpreting the texts that it produces, and differences of philological practice are as instructive as the similarities. We owe our idea of a textual edition for example, to the third-century BCE scholars of the Alexandrian Library. Rabbinical philology created an innova...
History of Sanskrit Philology and Indian Archaeosophy
The word `philosophy` stands for the study of all the aspects of Literature. It includes textual criticism, interpretation, chronological, historical, cultural, linguistic etc. studies. The present work deals with the history of Sanskrit philosophy and Indian Archaeosophy from the very beginning up to the first decades of the twentieth century. The main emphasis is on the nineteenth century. It is a very detailed, balanced and critical book written in a masterly manner E.Windisch. It was originally published in the famous German Book-Series Grundriss der Indo-Arichen Philiogie under Altertumskunde (Encyclopedia of Indo-Aryan Research, strassburg, 1917 and Berlin-Leipzig 1920(VolI). The third volume could not be completed by the Author because of his death. Only the first three chapters were written by him and they were published in the Abhandlungen Fur die Kude des Morgenlandes, Vol XV, No.3, Liepzing 1921. All these three volumes are classics. They are translated here from German into English mainly for those Sanskrit scholars for whom the original is not accessible. This English translation is expected to give new impetus to the study of the History of Sanskrit Philosophy.
Sanskrit and 'orientalism'
The Groundbreaking Studies Contained In This Volume Present A History Of Sanskrit Philology And Comparative-Historical Linguistics That Is Fully Integrated With German Political And Intellectual History Ranging From The Enlightenment To Cold War Eras. The Authors Engage And Extend The Intercultural `Dialogue` That Wilhelm Halbfass Powerfully Initiated In India And Europe: An Essay In Understanding (1988). This Volume Contains His Last Public Address, In Which He Challenges The `Otherness` Of German Indology, Seeing Germany As Fitting A European Pattern. These Thoroughly Researched Essays Examine The Accounts Of German Travellers To India, The Early Indological Project Of Friendrich Schlegel, The Politics And History Of The University Disciplines Of Indology And Comparative Linguistics, The Scholarly Reception And Reaction To The Bhagavadgita And Buddhism, Indology`S Relation To Racial Theory, And More.
Vedic and Sanskrit Historical Linguistics
This volume contains 10 articles based on papers presented at the Linguistics sessions of the 13th World Sanskrit Conference (Edinburgh, July 2006) and shows the engagement of scholars with all aspects of Vedic Grammar, including phonology, inflectional and derivational morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicography, and stylistics. In many cases the articles constitute integral parts of long-term research projects of their authors that are ongoing even at this date of publication and therefore present the broad sweep of the field of Vedic linguistics as it is currently being practiced. The contributions include two on phonology (Kobayashi and Kummel), two on morphology (Garcia Ramon and Tucker...
Philology
A prehistory of today's humanities, from ancient Greece to the early twentieth century Many today do not recognize the word, but "philology" was for centuries nearly synonymous with humanistic intellectual life, encompassing not only the study of Greek and Roman literature and the Bible but also all other studies of language and literature, as well as history, culture, art, and more. In short, philology was the queen of the human sciences. How did it become little more than an archaic word? In Philology, the first history of Western humanistic learning as a connected whole ever published in English, James Turner tells the fascinating, forgotten story of how the study of languages and texts led to the modern humanities and the modern university. The humanities today face a crisis of relevance, if not of meaning and purpose. Understanding their common origins—and what they still share—has never been more urgent.
