Marathi, an Indo-Aryan language, is the official language of Maharashtra, including Mumbai. Father Thomas Stephens, the first English traveler to Goa, a pioneer linguist, wrote "Christa Puran" in Marathi (1616) and "Arte da Lingoa Canarim" in Portuguese, printed in (1640). The latter is a grammar of Konkani, a language closely related to Marathi. It is the first grammar of its kind marking a new grammatical tradition for modern Indo-Aryan languages. The present volume contains an extensive account of Marathi phonology, morphology, word formation and syntax. It succinctly describes the accentual system, special compound verb forms, unique pronominal anaphors, complex agreement due to split ergative system, and special pronominal marking. The book also contains a case study of a child s acquisition of Marathi and an essay on Women s Language, the two topics that are increasingly becoming relevant to the grammar."
This book is specially designed as a course book for the non-Marathi speaking adult learners of Marathi language. This course has been tried out by the authors themselves. They have taught it in various Marathi-language teaching programmes to learners from different disciplines and occupations. All the lessons in it are situation oriented and it serves the purpose of providing cultural set-up of Marathi language. All of them are organized according to the gradation of the structural units given at the beginning of every lesson. These lessons are followed by grammatical notes. The grammatical notes, if followed in sequence will debit the structure of the pedagogical grammar of current Marathi. Every lesson is equipped with various drills and exercises for the practice and for guessing the purpose of the learners. At the end of every lesson a special conversational paragraph is added for giving the feel of free usage of Marathi. An important and unique feature of this book is the special script book added to it in the beginning. It contains eighteen chapters for script teaching. Here-in the letters are graphed according to the principle of shape similarity. The author have taken pains to demonstrate all the possible strokes, their sequences and the direction of writing them. The four appendixes given at the end are quite useful. The vocabulary and the solution of all the exercises especially will be useful learning aids for the self learners as well.
The present work is the english rendering of La formation de la Langue Marathe - a well-known work by Jules Bloch. The original French version was the first systematic undertaking to coordinate data on Marathi languages,- tracing its evolution and development through various stages - from sanskrit Prakrit and Apabhramsa. Jules Bloch was expert in Dravidian languages, specially Tamil and had studied Indo-Aryan languages. He was therefore competant to undertake the study of Marathi language and place it in its whole environment. It is not surprising that the results of his studies stand unchallenged even half a century after the publication of his work.
