Kashmiri, spoken in Kashmir, India, challenges every field of linguistics, be it synchronic, diachronic, areal, comparative, typological, modern or generative. Unlike other members of the Indo-Aryan language family, to which it is acclaimed to belong, its syntax, similar to Germanic and other verb second languages, has raised many significant issues within current generative theories proposed by Chomsky and other prominent linguists. The book contains extensive descriptions of Kashmiri syntax, morphology, agreement and pronominal clitics. It is invaluable as a reference and source book. Its originality lies in the fact that it presents a wealth of information on a relatively unknown verb second language. It will help to clarify certain issues in current theories. Kashi Wali has been working on Kashmiri for the last ten years and has published extensively in the field of linguistics and South Asian languages. Omkar N. Koul , a native speaker of Kashmiri has published several books and articles related to linguistics, sociolinguistics, and South Asian languages including Kashmiri, Punjabi, and Hindi. He is currently a professor cum deputy director of the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore, India.

Industry Reviews

"This book is an immensely valuable resource for researchers, who can use it both as a guide to the intricacies of Kashmiri syntax and morphology, and to find enormously interesting and largely unexplored linguistic patterns to investigate further with the help of Kashmiri speakers."-Anthropological Linguistics
