Book Description

About the Book "Essays on Kashmiri Grammar" by George A. Grierson provides an in-depth analysis of the Kashmiri language's grammatical structure. Grierson, a noted linguist, explores various aspects of Kashmiri grammar, including syntax, morphology, and phonology. His essays delve into the complexities of the language, offering insights into its unique features and evolution. Grierson's work is a significant contribution to the study of Indo-Aryan languages, providing valuable data and observations on Kashmiri's linguistic characteristics and historical development.

About the Author George A. Grierson (1851-1941) was a prominent British linguist and scholar of Indian languages. Known for his extensive work on the languages of India, his notable contributions include "Essays on Kashmiri Grammar." His research significantly advanced the study of South Asian linguistics and language documentation.

Preface The following essays on Kashmiri originally appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for 1896-1899. It is hoped that, as now completed, they will be found to give a much fuller account of that interesting language than has hitherto been available. Besides those who wish to study Kashmiri for its own sake, it is also of considerable interest to comparative philologists. I know of no Indo-Aryan language which in her grammatical construction is so naked and unashamed. With but the thinnest veil of mystery, she freely displays to the ardent eyes of the student, not only the general contour of her graceful form, but each joint, each articulation. Devoid of every feeling of false modesty, she discloses many a secret which is jealously hidden by her more prudish sisters of the south. This fact has been prosaically dwelt upon by me on former occasions, and I need not discuss it further here. It is sufficient to point out that a study of Kashmiri is an essential preliminary to any enquiry which deals comparatively with the mutual relations of the modern Aryan vernaculars of India. Although I believe that I may claim that this work is more full and more so curate than its predecessors, I trust that it will not be taken as intended to supersede the useful little grammar of Mr. Wade. To begin with, I hardly touch upon syntax, a branch of Kashmiri grammar which is treated of by that scholar with considerable fulness. Then, the following pages are scarcely meant for the beginner who only wishes to acquire a slight colloquial knowledge of the language. Such students cannot do better than commence with Mr. Wade's book, and, when they have mastered it, they will find it to their advantage, if they wish to proceed further in their studies, to peruse these essays also. I lay stress upon this point, because I have land occasion more than once to differ from Mr. Wade, and to state the fact clearly; and I should be sorry to think that my having done so would lead the reader to suppose that I generally condemned a grammar from which I have myself drawn no little profit and instruction.
