This introduction brings to life the main themes in Indian
philosophy of language by using an accessible translation of an
Indian classical text to provide an entry into the world of Indian
linguistic theories. Malcolm Keating draws on Mukula's Fundamentals
of the Communicative Function to show the ability of language to
convey a wide range of meanings and introduce ideas about
testimony, pragmatics, and religious implications. Along with a
complete translation of this foundational text, Keating also
provides: - Clear explanations of themes such as reference,
figuration and sentence meaning - Commentary illuminating
connections between Mukula and contemporary philosophy - Romanized
text of the Sanskrit - A glossary of terms and annotated
bibliography - A chronology of important figures and dates By
complementing a historically-informed introduction with a focused
study of an influential primary text, Keating responds to the need
for a reliable guide to better understand theories of language and
related issues in Indian philosophy.
