Sanskrit syntax is the publication of selected revised papers presented at the Seminar on Sanskrit syntax and discourse structures organized by the editor at the Universite Paris Diderot, 13–15 June 2013. The program of the seminar is posted on the Sanskrit Library website www.sanskritlibrary.org under Events. The theme of the seminar was the exposition of current theoretical knowledge concerning Sanskrit syntax and the application of state of the art methods of computational linguistics to Sanskrit. The book includes twelve papers by seventeen contributors from divergent backgrounds in European and American linguistics, Paninian grammar, and computer science that converge in dealing with contemporary issues in Sanskrit syntax. Hock provides a general survey of research on Sanskrit syntax. Other papers deal with word order, discourse analysis, word classification, ellipsis and lexical argument structure, and Paninian methodology, rule syntax, and computational implementation.
