Lowe (2015b) provided an LFG-based analysis of Classical Sanskrit compounds, including bahuvrihis of the adjective-noun type. In this paper we show that Lowe’s (2015b) analysis cannot account for the full range of bahuvrıhi types attested in Sanskrit; we improve and extend Lowe’s account to cover the major types of bahuvrıhi. We also formalize a broader generalization on the ordering constraints of the members of bahuvrıhis.

Abstract
Lowe (2015b) provided an LFG-based analysis of Classical Sanskrit compounds, including bahuvrihis of the adjective-noun type. In this paper we show that Lowe’s (2015b) analysis cannot account for the full range of bahuvrıhi types attested in Sanskrit; we improve and extend Lowe’s account to cover the major types of bahuvrıhi. We also formalize a broader generalization on the ordering constraints of the members of bahuvrıhis.File in questo prodotto:
