Marathi - London Oriental and African Language Library 13 (Hardback)

An important addition to the grammatical literature on Marathi, this comprehensive description speaks to the needs of both taxonomists and generativists. - Peter Hook, Emeritus Professor, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, University of Michigan

A comprehensive grammar of Marathi written by leading scholars presents an invaluable source for students and researchers with clarity and fresh insights. - Omkar N. Koul, Indian Institute of Language Studies, Delhi, India

For students of South Asian languages, this work by two accomplished Marathi scholars is indeed a welcome and indispensable resource. It will also be valuable to linguists in general. Clearly presenting all levels of structure in Marathi, it includes a number of special features not generally part of such efforts, including sections on the language of women, child language acquisition, and sample texts in both the written and spoken variety. - James W. Gair, Professor of Linguistics Emeritus, Cornell University

This is the first comprehensive linguistic grammar of Marathi in the full meaning of the term, describing the whole range of grammatical categories and functions, from phonetics to general sentence patterns within the frame of modern linguistics. It displays original and enlightening analysis which take into account the whole Marathi tradition as well as the most specialized recent researches, and rich textual material along with remarkably interesting appendixes on women language and acquisition. It is THE Marathi grammar one should read and study. - Annie Montaut, professeur de hindi et linguistique, Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales, Paris
