Problems of Comparative and Historical Study of the Kashmiri Language

Еditor: Yakubovich Ilya

Москва, 2016, 208 p.

Kashmiri is a language of the Dardic group, most thoroughly researched from the synchronic point of view but very poorly studied diachronically. The author of themonograph makes at attempt to improve this situation. The book deals with a number of separate, but closely related problems, viz. historical phonological innovations in the vowel, affricate, and sibilant systems; formal criteria for detecting Indo-Aryan borrowings; genetic relations between standard Kashmiri and certain idioms traditionally classified as Kashmiri dialects; the position of Kashmiri in the genealogical classification of Dardic languages. The author also discusses the question of applicability of the regular philological method for historical study to the Kashmiri material. The results of the research may be of interest not only to historical linguists, but also to experts in some allied branches of science, e.g. to historians and ethnographers.
