About the Book
This volume brings together scholarly papers presented at a seminar on Panini and Modern Semantics, organized by Sahitya Akademi. The collection features contributions by eminent linguists, logicians, grammarians, and scholars who examine the relevance of Paninian thought in relation to modern semantic studies. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including karaka theory, Sanskrit grammar, socio-linguistics, structural grammar, formal semantics, and the possible relationship between Sanskrit and computational approaches.
The book explores the many conceptual domains of Paninian grammar and opens meaningful possibilities for dialogue between traditional Indian grammatical systems and modern linguistic theory. Special attention is given to Panini’s treatment of compounds, a distinctive feature of Indo-European languages that reached remarkable complexity in classical Sanskrit. The papers highlight how Panini’s rules of compound formation take into account both syntactic and semantic dimensions, showing his deep awareness of meaning, classification, and linguistic structure.
