Sanskrit Syntax

Summary: An essential Sanskrit reference
Review: Sanskritists by training become immersed in historical linguistics and grammar. Speijer adds another dimension - syntax - to that training. To the best of my knowledge, it is rarely used as a class requirement but rather is suggested as an optional reference to second or third year students. He covers Classical, Vedic and Epic Sanskrit in six sections: (1) general remarks on the structure of sentences (2) syntax concord and case relationships (3) classes of nouns and pronouns (4) syntax of verbs (5) syntax of particles and (6) connection of sentences.

A reference well worth its cost.
