{"product_id":"the-vedic-ya-presents-9789042035225","title":"The Vedic -ya-presents","description":"This book is the first comprehensive study of the Vedic present formations with the suffix  \u003ci\u003eya\u003c\/i\u003e  (‘ \u003ci\u003eya\u003c\/i\u003e-presents’ for short), including both present passives with the accented suffix  \u003ci\u003eyá\u003c\/i\u003e  and non-passive -\u003ci\u003eya\u003c\/i\u003e-presents with the accent on the root (class IV in the Indian tradition). It offers a complete survey of all  \u003ci\u003eya\u003c\/i\u003e-presents attested in the Vedic corpus. The main issue in the spotlight of this monograph is the relationship between form (accent placement, diathesis) and function (passive\/non-passive) in the system of the -\u003ci\u003eya\u003c\/i\u003e-presents – one of the most solidly attested present classes in Sanskrit. One of the aims of the present study is to corroborate the systematic correlation between accent placement and the passive\/non-passive distinction: passives bear the accent on the suffix, while non-passives have the accent on the root. The book also focuses on the position of the passive within the system of voices and valency-changing categories in Old Indo-Aryan.","brand":"Leonid Kulikov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48435426132219,"sku":"9789042035225","price":413.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_63615bf5-5208-4db8-8845-2fefe065bf83.jpg?v=1773792420","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-vedic-ya-presents-9789042035225","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
