Description
In Western tradition, 'Grammar' (from Greek grammatike) stands for that branch of knowledge which deal with the inflectional forms, rules for their application, syntax, and some times, the phonetic system of the language, and its representation in writing. In India the term 'vyakarana' connotes much more than the term 'grammar' does. In Sanskrit the Science of language is called 'vyakarana' which includes phonetics, etymilogy, accentuation, syntax, word formation by declension and conjugation, and semantics. Grammatical thought in India is coeval with the Vedas. The preservation and understanding of the vedic texts were regarded as a religious duty. The attempts to analyses the word for their better understanding are as old as the Taittiriya-Samhita. We know from the Brahmanas and the Upanishads that Vyakarana was regarded as a vedanga, i.e. an auxiliary to the vedic studies sicne very old times.
