This article provides a few observations on some of the theories that the Sanskrit and the Tamil grammatical traditions share about the contexts in which the sounds of words change and which kinds of changes these sounds can undergo. The study shows that even if Tamil grammarians freely rearranged the Sanskrit material and adapted it to their concerns, it is nonetheless plausible to claim that there was a transfer of ideas from the Sanskrit tradition to the Tamil one also in what we could call the field of phonology.

Abstract
This article provides a few observations on some of the theories that the Sanskrit and the Tamil grammatical traditions share about the contexts in which the sounds of words change and which kinds of changes these sounds can undergo. The study shows that even if Tamil grammarians freely rearranged the Sanskrit material and adapted it to their concerns, it is nonetheless plausible to claim that there was a transfer of ideas from the Sanskrit tradition to the Tamil one also in what we could call the field of phonology.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
