A Grammar of Modern Tamil

Thomas Lehmann

This book has been written to present a comprehensive description of the morphological and syntactic structure of the literary variety of modern Tamil. The principal emphasis is on syntax. This monograph provides a description of the overall grammatical system and its structures. It also attempts to refer, in each case, to the analysis available in the grammatical literature, and, wherever possible, gives a new and alternative analysis. For a long time the need has been felt for a comprehensive description of modern literary Tamil and this book fulfils it.
