This book is intended for modern students, inside or outside the
classroom, as a work of reference rather than a "teach yourself"
textbook. It presents an introductory sketch of Pali using both European
and South Asian grammatical categories. In English-language works, Pali
is usually presented in the traditional terms of English grammar,
derived from the classical tradition, with which many modern students
are unfamiliar. This work discusses and reflects upon those categories,
and has an appendix devoted to them. It also introduces the main
categories of traditional Sanskrit and Pali grammar, drawing on, in
particular, the medieval Pali text Saddaniti, by Aggavamsa. Each
grammatical form is illustrated by examples taken from Pali texts,
mostly canonical. Although some previous knowledge of Sanskrit would be
helpful, the book can also be used by those without previous linguistic
training. A bibliographical appendix refers to other, complementary
resources. Steven Collins is professor of South Asian languages and
civilizations at the University of Chicago, and was formerly a council
member of the Pali Text Society (London). He is the author of Selfless
Persons: Imagery and Thought in Theravada Buddhism and Nirvana and Other
Buddhist Felicities: Utopias of the Pali Imaginaire.
