Reality Exploration and Discovery : Pattern Interaction in Language and Life (Lecture Notes)

The twenty-five papers presented here examine the interactions between linguistic structure and sound patterns across a diverse set of languages. The integrating theme of this volume is the influence of K.P. Mohanan's philosophy of inquiry, derived not only from his rich body of work but also from the fresh perspectives and intellectual vitality that he has shared with colleagues and students in a career spanning over three decades.
