The second chapter discussesone specific effect of the impetus of Indic traditional grammar within Tibetanscholastics, namely the influence of Indic models of linguistic description on Tibetanindigenous grammar.This particular assimilation of an Indic technical discipline into Tibetan scholarship isexamined in detail, and it is shown that other segments of Indic Buddhism were sourcesof inspiration and derivation for the Tibetan grammarians as well.This systematic survey will prove valuable material for all those interested in theindigenous traditions of Sanskrit and Tibetan grammar, the history of linguistics, theprocesses of transcultural receptivity, as well as Indologists, Tibetologists, Buddhologistsand linguists.R E A D E R S H I P :For more information see http://www.brill.com/history-sanskrit-grammatical-literaturetibet-volume-2-assimilation-indigenous-scholarshipView full information on http://www.brill.com/
