DESCRIPTION |
|
| Linguistic Geography or Area Linguistics', has, in recent decades, assumed an added significance all over the world, due to its historical and sociology importance. In this work, perhaps for the first times, the real variants of the item in question have been organized into different area groups in accordance with their converging and diverging points, along with explanatory notes on their salient phonological and morphophonemic features, besides stereographical distribution of their correlates. In addition to this preferences of are invariants with regard to their syntactic usages and semantic connotations, too have, adequately, been pointed out. Similarly, Centro-eastern Pahari correlates, with their own real variants, too, have been given to determine the position of the items ink question and their inter-relationship with regard to these neighboring languages, viz., Nepali and Garhawali. Moreover, this micro level presentation of bewildering real variants of various phonological and morphological elements may be called a trend setter and model for the researchers in the field of dialectology and linguistic geography. As such this work, besides serving as a guide to similar studies in other Indian languages, can profitably, be utilized for historical and comparative studies of the 'Dardo-Pahari' group of the Himalayan Language, being spoken in the sub-Himalayan regions from Nepal in the east to the J & K state in the west. |
