The palaeographic papers cover the main issues in the decipherment of the Indus Valley script, the origin and evolution of Brahmi, and the palaeographic methods and considerations employed in the decipherment of scripts. These present different trends and arguments of writers on the origin of Brahmi as having been around the Mauryan era or at a much earlier stage, relate to broader historical and cultural issues.

They also deal with the need for the use of established and more current palaeographic techniques in classifying regional and stylistic variants of scripts. The linguistic papers in the volume explore the issues of the roots of the orthographic unit akshara in Vedic phonetics, its claim as a minimal articulatory phonetic unit, and the properties of Brahmi as a generative writing system.

The philosophical and linguistic underpinning of the concept akshara is shown to thread its use in the varieties of treatises, from the Vedas to phonetic texts. The papers help in providing linguistic evidence for historical accounts of the script as an invention at a given time or as an evolving evolutionary system, apart from relating the development of the script to the linguistic history of India.

Palaeographers epigraphists, linguists and computational scientists, will find this volume interesting and useful (less)

Pali like any other ancient language is literary in which the words and teachings of the Buddha are contained. A student of Pali studies this language for understanding the words of the Blessed One, though he may not usde the knowledge of language for any communication.

The need of communication applies to the current languages in which the people normally speak. For ancient languages, the purpose of any study is for understanding the same.

While this general feature applies to Pali also there is some higher purpose of any study is for understanding the same. While this general feture applies to Pali also, there is some higher purpose nd that is the realization of the essence of the teachings.

Thus the word artha, meaning is for understanding as well realizing the same. This book seeks to emphasize the need to study the aspect of meaning keeping in mind this special purpose for Pali.

The modern linguists conduct their study mostly on modern languages with scientific tools that had undergone tremendous change in the course of recent past. But when the same tools are applied to ancient languages in any linguistic study, the said approach needs to be changed.

The study of meaning in this book is conducted with the special emphasis given to the caution of the Buddha in study of his teachings and for him the word artha, meaning lies in its realization of the essence of the teachings and not to serve a mere purpose of communication. If for Sanskrit and other ancient languages, the letter is very important as to mode of chanting, intonation etc.

, for Pali, it is the practical realization that is behind the concept of meaning. This approach has been judiciously mixed with modern linguistic approach to some extent in this study.

An exclusive study of the type seeks to bring out the intentions of the Buddha as far as the medium of language in which he taught is concerned (less)
