Abstract

The paper aims to develop a parsing model using the nyāya-morpho-syntactic analysis using the two terms namely, prakāratā and viśeṣyatā. The idea is that prakāratā and viśeṣyatā are to be seen as modification (modifiedness) and headedness respectively. Several representative sentences have been exemplified using the method developed. prakāratā and viśeṣyatā not only come through to give a thorough analysis at word level, but may be extended, as it has been shown in this paper, to get a thorough analysis at syntactic and discourse level, as well.
