About this product

Product Information

In his ambitious survey of the Indo-Aryan languages, Colin Masica has provided a fundamental introduction that concentrates on the phonology, morphology and syntax as well as their historical development, areal context and writing systems. This will interest not only general and theoretical linguists but also students who want a broader linguistic context in these languages.

Reviews
'No anthropological linguist planning work in South Asia should leave home without it.' American Anthropologist, "...a genuine monument of erudition....Dr. Masica is remarkably conversant with all the available information and he digests it exceedingly well for the non-specialist and for the scholar as well....The volume is completed by rich appendices, copious notes and indices, as well as a very detailed bibliography. Clear tables illustrate the discussion." Journal of Indo-European Studies, 'Masica's new book provides the urgently needed comprehensive and linguistically sophisticated survey of NIA, and will remain the standard work for a long time to come.' Journal of Asian Studies, "...Dr. Masica is to be congratulated on assembling and organizing so much material, much of it little known, with the clarity and accuracy he has done and in maintaining the identifiable perspective of a single scholar on it....This very fine book will be much used and will not easily be replaced as a guide to the structure, modes of functioning, evolving interrelationships, and unresolved complexities of its varied subject-matter." Journal of the American Oriental Society, "...Masica's text is a valuable addition to the Indo-Europeanist's library and is a must for Aryan studies. It is destined to become a classic." Jacob Caflisch, Sr., Language Quarterly, "This is a wonderful piece of scholarship...No anthropological linguist planning work in South Asia should leave home without it." American Anthropologist, "...this should prove to be a practical and serviceable reference book for many years to come." Canadian Journal of Linguistics
