Reviewed by Leonid Kulikov, University of Nijmegen The book under review surveys the studies on P¯an.ini, a great Old Indian grammarian (around 600–500 B.C.), one of the most outstanding linguists who ever lived, whose contri- bution to language science cannot be overestimated. His grammatical treatise As.t.¯adhy¯ay¯ı (lit. `consisting of eight chapters/books'), representing in a very condensed form the rules of the Sanskrit grammar, is an impressive specimen of the use of several sophisticated de- scriptive techniques, anticipating a number of theoretical notions (such as zero morpheme, semantic roles, etc.), which modern linguistics has only developed in the last century. No wonder P¯an.ini's work constantly draws the attention of scholars both in and outside India, and not only that of Sanskritists, so that P¯an.inian studies can be said to represent a solid separate branch of research on the history and theory of linguistics. The author of this survey, the American linguist George Cardona (GC), is one of the most authoritative modern P¯an.inian scholars, who happily combines the achievements of 122 CJL/RCL 49(1), 2004 modern Western linguistics with the indigenous tradition of the study of Pan¯ .ini's grammar, preserved in India for two and a half thousand years, as attested in detailed commentaries and sub-commentaries on As.t.adhy¯ ay¯ ¯ı.

  • Automatic Discovery of Adposition Typology
    Automatic Discovery of Adposition Typology Rishiraj Saha Roy Rahul Katare∗ IIT Kharagpur IIT Kharagpur Kharagpur, India – 721302. Kharagpur, India – 721302. [email protected] [email protected] Niloy Ganguly Monojit Choudhury IIT Kharagpur Microsoft Research India Kharagpur, India – 721302. Bangalore, India – 560001. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Natural languages (NL) can be classified as prepositional or postpositional based on the order of the noun phrase and the adposition. Categorizing a language by its adposition typology helps in addressing several challenges in linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). Understand- ing the adposition typologies for less-studied languages by manual analysis of large text corpora can be quite expensive, yet automatic discovery of the same has received very little attention till date. This research presents a simple unsupervised technique to automatically predict the adpo- sition typology for a language. Most of the function words of a language are adpositions, and we show that function words can be effectively separated from content words by leveraging differ- ences in their distributional properties in a corpus. Using this principle, we show that languages can be classified as prepositional or postpositional based on the rank correlations derived from entropies of word co-occurrence distributions. Our claims are substantiated through experiments on 23 languages from ten diverse families, 19 of which are correctly classified by our technique. 1 Introduction Adpositions form a subcategory of function words that combine with noun phrases to denote their se- mantic or grammatical relationships with verbs, and sometimes other noun phrases. NLs can be neatly divided into a few basic typologies based on the order of the noun phrase and its adposition.

  • The Ancient Eurasian World and the Celestial Pivot
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 192 September, 2009 In and Outside the Square: The Sky and the Power of Belief in Ancient China and the World, c. 4500 BC – AD 200 Volume I: The Ancient Eurasian World and the Celestial Pivot by John C. Didier Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies.

  • The Basque Language: History and Origin1
    43 International Journal of Modern Anthropology Int. J. Mod. Anthrop. (2011) 4 : 43 - 59 Available online at www.ata.org.tn ; doi: 10.4314/ijma.v1i4.3 Original Synthetic Report The Basque Language: History and Origin1 John D. Bengtson John D. Bengtson is currently Vice-President of the Association for the Study of Language in Prehistory (ASLIP), and a participant in the Evolution of Human Language Project (Santa Fe Institute). He has published more than 70 articles on historical linguistics and paleolinguistics, and two books: In Hot Pursuit of Language in Prehistory: Essays in the four fields of anthropology (Festschrift in honor of Harold C. Fleming) (2008), and Linguistic Fossils: Studies in Historical Linguistics and Paleolinguistics (2008). Association for the Study of Language in Prehistory, 5108 Credit River Drive, Savage, MN 55378, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] Web page: http://jdbengt.net/ ASLIP / Mother Tongue Web page: http://www.aslip.org/ Tower of Babel Web page: http://starling.rinet.ru/main.html Abstract - How do we discover the origin and history (and prehistory) of a language, even when there are no written records of earlier stages? The methods of historical linguistics analyze the following components: Basic vocabulary (lexicon); Morphology (grammar); Phonology (sound system); and Cultural vocabulary (words passed from culture to culture). The first three components tell us about the “genetic” origin of a language, while the fourth, cultural vocabulary, tells us about cultural contacts. The analysis of these components of the Basque language leads to the conclusion that its deep “genetic” lexical and grammatical structure is of Dene- Caucasian origin, while cultural contacts have included Semites, Egyptians, Celts, Germans, as well as the well-known contacts with early Latin (Roman Empire) and later forms of Latin (Romance languages).
