Book Description

From the Jacket :

It is a pioneer work in the field of Hindi texicography, lexicology, and the linguistic analysis connected with it, Because it is the first Hindi dictionary that contains:

  1. all simple Verbs as well as
  2. all compound Verbs of the present standard language, in both its written and spoken form.

The lexical meanings of all simple and compound verbs:

  1. are given in detail in English, and
  2. are illustrated by representative examples of their employment taken from written and spoken texts.

The compound verbs of group I, have, in most cases, the same lexical meanings as the first verb of them when this one is used as an autonomous lexeme both meaning here, "to drown oneself"; the difference between these two verb forms lies in their grammatical, i.e., above all, aspectual, meanings, but also in their lexical properties and their syntactic and pragmatic functions; the compound verbs of group II, are isolated lexemes, i.e., they do not have the same lexical meanings as their first member when this one is used autonomously or alone.

These phenomena cannot be fully demonstrated by the lexical equivalents of the Hindi verbs in English, therefore they are, as far as possible, additionally explained (a) in the 'Introduction' of the dictionary, (b) in the entries of the verb lexemes, and (c) by means of the textual examples of their usage.

The dictionary will fill an important gap in the analysis and description of Hindi, and thus, it will prove to be an indispensable work for all speakers, learners and teachers of Hindi, whether in India or abroad.
