Synopsis

This book is designed to serve as a convenient quick-reference guide to the grammar of classical sanskrit, for the use of university students and others. It is not intended to be a complete grammar of the language.

This book also presents essential reference information in Tables. Romanized transcription is used throughout, and some innovative modes of description and presentation are adopted. This manual will be found a valuable, 'user-friendly' companion to existing grammars, such as Whitney's. Though primarily intended for beginers and intermediate students, it will be of use to scholars working with Sanskrit at any level.

About this title

About the Author

Roderick S. Bucknell studied and travelled extensively in India and other Asian countries before returning to Australia to do a Ph.D. in linguistics. He is currently Senior Lecturer in Chinese and Indian religions at the University of Queenland. His thoughts on the methodology of teaching and learning sanskrit derive in part from his own early experience as a student of the language.
