The Concept of Sentence and Meaning - Vistas in Indian Milieu

Sarath P. Nath

Summary

Definition and sense of the “meaning” were a great concern for the Indian thinkers. In order to finalize this, they have examined all the components of a communicative unit such as syllables, words, sentences and intentions of the speakers. After this examination, different philosophers, specifically, MÁmÀÚsakas, NaiyÀyikas and ŒÀbdikas have arrived at the conclusion that sentence is an essential component to convey the sense of meaning to the listener. The theory of akhaõçavÀkya is based on the indivisible sphoÇa theory and the sentence-meaning is experienced by the concept of pratibhÀ. The division of sentence as per the priority of words occurred on the basis of mutual expectancy by which the intended meaning may be assumed by the listener.The VÀkyapadÁya of Bhart¦hari (sixth century) is a text which elaborately explains the notions on sentence. The book systematically presents the philosophical dimensions of grammatical units. The author has attempted to present the philosophy of language in a Bhart¦harian perspective. To substantiate his views, syntactic and semantic thoughts in India are elaborately discussed.Though the significance of the work can only be understood by those scholars who are well versed in HelÀrÀja and PuõyarÀja, it will, undoubtedly, remain an asset to the field of grammatical deliberations.

Technical Italian - an...

Matteo Bianchi, Tomas Dvoracek

Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Technical Italian by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for beginners to slightly advanced learners and focuses on vocabulary you can use in the technical field.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 900 words and practice sentences.The individual lessons are structured according to the topics of activities, quality, logistics, tools/equipment, dimensions and characteristics. They contain words and example sentences that will help you communicate better when solving technical problems. At the same time, you can use this course to refresh your Italian from a beginner to pre-intermediate level.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First, familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions in Italian, in track one you hear the Italian word twice.Next, you have a word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4). Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Italian twice. Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Italian (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts. In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to. In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen.
