Annotation

This collection of papers of James Gair, the foremost western scholar of the Sri Lankan languages Sinhala and Jaffna, also addressing a variety of Indian languages, such as Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Bengali, reflects Gair's broad interests, from morpho-syntactic issues to sociolinguistic topics as language contact and acquisition.
