A Hindi Reference Grammar by S. Sandahl (English) Paperback Book

Description: A Hindi Reference Grammar by S. Sandahl This grammar is a reference grammar of the modern Hindi language as it is written, spoken and taught in the Hindi speaking areas of North India today. It describes the phonological, morphological and grammatical features of the Hindi language as clearly as possible without making them conform to any particular linguistic theory. Its principal aim is thus practical - to enable students to understand how the Hindi language functions. Tables of nominal and pronominal declensions and of the verb system are provided for quick reference. A system of grammatical interpretation (syntagmatical analysis) is described in the syntax section of this grammar in order to facilitate understanding and translation of both simple and complex texts. Combined (compound) verbs are presented in alphabetical order. As Hindi and Urdu are essentially the same language, born of the same soil, the grammatical features described are also valid for Urdu, even though it uses a different script.
