Reviews

This book resolves a major dilemma in the long history of the reception of Pāṇini’s grammar, centering on its metarule devoted to rule conflict. Rishi Rajpopat's ingenious and revolutionary reinterpretation of the metarule emanates from an accurate and elegant analysis of the usus scribendi of Pāṇini’s grammar. He brilliantly demonstrates that the metarule far more effectively resolves rule conflicts than was previously thought possible. -- Tiziana Pontillo, University of Cagliari
