Editorial

The main purpose of the Journal is twofold. On the one hand, to collect papers devoted to general synchronic linguistic analysis (including sociolinguistic analysis) of a particular language (even as testified in a specific text) and even those incorporating a comparative analysis with other languages. According to this aim, the papers submitted can have a theoretical and/or a descriptive approach, in both respects adopting a typological and functional perspective. On the other hand, one of the major aims of Bhāṣā is to better understand the evolution of the various languages employed in South Asia today and in the past.
