A Reinterpretation of Pāṇini 3.2.112–114 with a Note on the Future in Middle Indo-Aryan
This paper re-examines Pāṇini’s rules (A 3.2.112–114) on the sigmatic future used for past actions. While some scholars attribute this usage to Middle Indo-Aryan influence, citing in particular the use of the future for a habitual past in Niya Prakrit, this study argues that Pāṇini primarily describes Late Vedic occurrences of the future in íti -clauses within past contexts; indeed, these contexts correspond to the so-called conditional, the futu…
The metalinguistic development of the term 'periphrasis' in the western grammatical tradition from Antiquity to the Enlightenment
In 1993, Hoffmann published a study on the historical development of the term 'periphrasis' in grammars, which originally indicated a figure of speech, used for stylistic and rhetorical purposes. To date, Hoffmann's article remains the only contribution to the question. In this paper, we further investigate the history of the morphosyntactic category of 'periphrasis', with special attention to practical grammars, which are not discussed by Hoffma…
The use of ās - ‘sit’ and vas - ‘dwell’ plus participle and gerund from Early Vedic to Epic Sanskrit
The auxiliary ās - ‘sit’ is one of a set of verbs that forms iterative-continuative periphrases in Sanskrit, but it has hardly been studied. While modern-day Sanskrit grammars acknowledge its presence, a comprehensive investigation into its usage is lacking. Given the lack of studies on the ās - periphrasis, this paper explores the verbal construction constituted of the root ās- ‘sit’ plus participle or gerund from Early Vedic to Epic Sanskrit, a…
Complex verb constructions in Indo-Aryan in synchrony and diachrony
The Sanskrit Auxiliary sthā- ‘stand’, with a Note on Avestan stā
Traditional grammars of Sanskrit briefly address the periphrastic use of the verbs i - ‘go’, car - ‘move’, ās - ‘sit’ and sthā - ‘stand’ plus participle or gerund, which convey the meaning ‘to be continually/habitually x’ (x = participle or gerund), but an in-depth analysis of this set of auxiliaries remains a desideratum. This paper specifically addresses the periphrasis formed with the posture verb sthā - ‘stand’. I will investigate the diachro…
Periphrases with Motion Verbs in Vedic Sanskrit
The Sanskrit language knows the use of iterative‐continuative periphrases which are so far mostly unexplored. The aim of this paper is to investigate the grammaticalization of the motion verbs i ‐ ‘go’ and car ‐ ‘move’ plus participle into auxiliary verbs, collecting data from the earliest attestations (c. 2 nd millennium BC) to Late Vedic (c. 900–600 BC). I argue that in the earliest attestations there are no clear cases of periphrasis, but the …
