Koul Omkar N. Kashmiri Language, Linguistics and Culture: An Annotated Bibliography

Central Institute of Indian Languages, 2000. — 84 p.An annotated bibliography of the available source materials in a language is an important aid for a researcher. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the preparation of different types of bibliographies in languages. No detailed bibliography was available for Kashmiri for a long period of time. Schmidt and Koul (1983) have compiled Kohitani to Kashmiri: An Annotated Bibliography ofDardic languages which includes bibliographical references of the available source materials in Shina, Kashmiri and other languages. Since it is devoted to different languages of Dardic Group of languages, it has limited references related to Kashmiri. It is out of print now.
This annotated bibliography contains bibliographical references of all the prominent works on Kashmiri language, linguistics, culture and literature which are available from the 19th century onwards. 2. Linguistic Research in Kashmiri Serious research work on Kashmiri language, and linguistics commenced around the end of the nineteenth century. A number of European as well as Indian scholars have made contributions to the research work on Kashmiri at different linguistic levels: phonetics and phonology, morphology and syntax, semantics, lexicon etc. Research work has been done in the areas of history, culture, folklore and literature as well. With an increasing interest in the teaching and learning of Kashmiri as a second/foreign language, various language teaching courses have also been produced.
