The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian Philosophy of Language
presents a systematic survey of philosophy of language in the
Indian tradition, providing an up-to-date research resource for
better understanding the history and future direction of the field.
Each chapter addresses a particular philosophical problem from the
viewpoint of seminal traditions and specific thinkers. Covering the
philosophical insight on language found in the mainstream
philosophies of Vyakarana, Mima?sa, Nyaya, Vedanta, Buddhism, and
Alankarasastra, the chapters tackle crucial semantic and pragmatic
questions such as the relation of the speaker to reality, the use
of metalanguage, the distinction between sentences, elliptic
statements, and figurative usages, and the impact of textual
structures on the philosophical message. Complete with further
reading suggestions and an annotated bibliography, this collection
makes an important contribution to both Eastern and Western
contemporary philosophy of language.
