Linguistic Geography of Kumaun Himalayas
Synopsis
Linguistic Geography or Areal Linguisties, has, in recent decades, assumed an added significance all over the world, due to its historical andsociology importance. In this work, perhaps for the first times, theareal variants of the item in question have been organized into different areal groups in accordance with their converging and diverging points, along with explanatory notes on their salient phonological and morphophonemic features, besides kthegeographical distribution of their correlates. In addition to this preferences of are alvariants with regard to their syntactic usages and semantic connotations, too have, adequately, been pointed out. Similarly, Centro-eastern Pahari correlates, with their own areal variants, too, have been given to determine the position of the items ink question and their inter-relationship with regard to these neighbouring languages, viz., Nepali and Garhawali. Moreover, this micro level presentation of bewildering areal variants of various phonological and morphological elements may be called a treand setter and model for the researchers in the field of dialectology and linguistic geography. As such this work, besides serving as a guide to similar studies in other Indian languages, can profitably, be utilized for historical and comparative studies of the ‘Dardo-Pahari’ group of the Himalayan Language, being spoken in the sub-Himalayan regions from Nepal in the east to the J 7 K state in the west.
