Aspects of the Syntax and Semantics of Sanskrit

Dear Colleagues,

Peter Scharf and I invite you to consider contributing to an issue of Languages which will be dedicated to topics in the syntax and semantics of Vedic, Epic and Classical Sanskrit. In light of how little properly linguistic work has been done of Classical Sanskrit, we welcome contributions on any topic in either syntax or semantics from the point of view of any linguistic theory.

Tentative Completion Schedule 
Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 February 2024
Notification of Abstract Acceptance: 3 March 2024
Full Manuscript Deadline: 15 September 2024

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 400–600 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the guest editors ([email protected]) or to Languages editorial office ([email protected]). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the special issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.
