  Commerce and colonisation have carried some Dravidian languages, particularly Tamil, beyond South Asia to Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, Fiji, Madagascar, Mauritius, Guyana, Martinique and Trinidad. The Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution mandates the creation of states along linguistic lines, and accords official status to four Dravidian languages: Tamil in Tamil Nadu, Malayalam in Kerala, Kannada in Karnataka and Telugu in Andhra Pradesh.

• Response to Sanford B. Steever's Review of A Reference Grammar of Spoken Tamil

  Open Access•Harold Schiffman, Harold F Schiffman et al.•ARTICLE•Language•2002

  Response to Sanford B. Steever’s Review of A Reference Grammar of Spoken Tamil Harold Schiffman Sanford Steever has written an extremely negative review (Language 78(2).314–16) of my1999 grammar. In fact it appears to me to be the most negative thing I have ever seen anywhere in any journal, in my entire academic career. The review’s criticisms can be divided into two categories. One is on the issue of copyediting, typographical errors, and other…

  Discussion Note Sanford B. Steever Steever replies: Author Schiff man states that, apart from the 125 lapses in copyediting, typesetting, and the like—whose incidence would surely trigger a recall in a more mundane consumer product, the remaining 125 criticisms maybe dismissed because they are not really problems at all but merely reflect a philosophical difference between author and reviewer. The difference S would urge us to accept, however, st…

  This essay explores the use of the pancaksara mantra in the theology and poetic structure of the Tamil siddha text Civavdkkiyam. Alliteration of the letters of the mantra proves to be an integral part of the versification of this text. These letters further constitute an abecedarium naturae, or system of primordial signs that underlie and inform reality. They are correlated with significant concepts in Tamil Saivism: a, u, and m with the 'three r…

• On the Etymology of the Present Tense in Tamil

  Sanford B Steever•ARTICLE•Journal of the American Oriental…•1989

  The evolution of the present tense markers -(k)kinrand -d-ninrin Tamil is considered in light of comparative Dravidian grammar. Both are shown to descend from compound verbs in early medieval Tamil. Bloch's (1946) etymology is brought up to date with new, explicit arguments, buttressed with cognate evidence from Toda. Comparison of the argumentation used in three different etymologies reveals that Bloch's best integrates these forms and their evo…

• The Roots of the Plural Action Verb in the Dravidian Languages

  Sanford B Steever•ARTICLE•Journal of the American Oriental…•1987

  Incluir item

  Study of the plural action verb reveals how it reflects general principles of comparative Dravidian grammar. A new synchronic analysis serves as the basis of a new etymology of this form in South-Central Dravidian. It is shown to be descended from the echo compound verb through a series of elementary steps. Compound Verb Contraction is first applied to the echo compound verb, creating a synthetic form out of an analytic one. Subsequent restructur…
