{"product_id":"time-tense-and-aspect-in-eystein-dahl-9789004178144","title":"Time, Tense and Aspect in Early Vedic Grammar: Exploring Inflectional Semantics in the Rigveda","description":"This book takes a fresh look at the relationship between aspect, tense and mood in Early Vedic, the language of the \u003ci\u003eRigveda\u003c\/i\u003e. Although numerous studies have examined the functional range of individual verbal categories in this language, this work is the first attempt to approach this problem from an overall, systemic perspective. With insights from formal semantics and linguistic typology, the author demonstrates that aspect represents a grammatically relevant semantic dimension on a par with tense in the Early Vedic verbal system, thereby indicating that the language has preserved an aspectual opposition similar to the one found in Homeric Greek. Apart from these general findings, the book provides a theoretical framework designed for exploring inflectional semantics in dead languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eystein Dahl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004178147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004178144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 279","brand":"Eystein Dahl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48871400407295,"sku":"9789004178144","price":243.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-tense-and-aspect-in-eystein-dahl-9789004178144","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
