Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course aims to introduce the students to the Aṣṭādhyāyī, the world's earliest extant grammar, composed around the 5th century BCE by Pāṇini, and famously lauded by the influential American linguist Leonard Bloomfield as "one of the greatest monuments of human intelligence". In the first part of the course, we will explore fundamental concepts and interpretative rules necessary to understand the basic principles and general workings of the Aṣṭādhyāyī. In the second part, we will focus on a specific set of rules describing the system of so-called kārakas, a concept comparable in many ways to the Fillmore's (1968) "Case" relations. Specifically, "kārakas are grammatical categories defined in terms of the semantic relation between a verbal action and its arguments" (see https://www.linguindic.com/data/browse/linguisticnotions/4/).Given the complexity of these concepts, the course will blend the formats of a "Pro-seminar" (comprising instructor lectures, discussion of assigned readings, and other homework) with those of reading class. We will read and analyze passages from various Sanskrit works belonging to the Pāṇinian grammatical tradition, such as the Kāśikā by Jayāditya and Vāmana, the Kārakacakra attributed to Puruṣottamadeva, the Bālamonaramā, Vāsudeva Dīkṣita's commentary on the Siddhāntakaumudī, and others.
