Vyākaraṇa – III

(SAN7102) – Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is a monumental work in the sūtra format (short aphorisms) that establishes the grammar for classical Sanskrit as a language. At the same time, the text also presents a general model for language description, that goes beyond Sanskrit as a specific language instance. This is the third course in a sequence of four courses on Vyākaraṇa (grammar) based on Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī which explores his exposition on the operations in the language in its phonetic, morphological, syntactic and semantic forms. The methodology of semantic analysis and description employed by Pāṇini in the form of karaka will be explored as a universal model that is applicable across many languages.

Prerequisites:

1) The medium of Instruction is Sanskrit

2)Only currently enrolled Sanskrit master’s certificate students can register for these courses. 

3) Admission into Master Program in Sanskrit.

4) Completed previous MA Sanskrit Course 

Note: A late payment fee of $200 will be charged for registrations submitted after July 7, 2022
