Introduction
Any language has a structure. To make you aware of the Structure of Sanskrit is the aim of this course. Scientific Discipline of learning is also the aim of this course. The structure of this language is perfect. This facilitates for the Computer Science. By learning the structure of Sanskrit, reading Computer Language Processing becomes very useful.
Language has a Form and also a Content. The form captures the content. Language directly captures the gyan or Knowledge. A Form is 'visible' and through the form we refer to the content. A form reflects the structure and one such reflection is the Language.
For eg. "There is a chalk on the table. - There is a relationship between the form and the content.
Another eg. राम गाँव जाता है. - Ram is a Name; gao - is a Place; jata - is an action in the present tense.
Grammar is nothing but a set of rules. Bhartruhari, the Philosopher of Language said: "A child is born with the capacity to relate all this in language. Brain is capable of generalizing the grammar. Grammar is not to be taught while learning the First Language or Mother Tongue to a child. The second language is a Filtered Language. whereas the first language is the Filtering Language.
Language study has to be done in 4 levels:-
1)Phonology (वर्ण, सन्धि), - the arrangement of Phonemes in a certain pattern.
2) Morphology - study of Morphemes or words
((3) Syntax structure of sentences
(4) Vocabulary.
To understand the structure of a sentence we have to understand the structure of its components. Making a sentence means making it meaningful to read, write, speak and comprehend. Lipi or Script is not the language, it is the representation of the utterance is the language. Language is a Reality. We use it, so it exists. Language is there in the articulated form and before that it is in the unmanifested form. When I speak "Sanskrit" it becomes manifest, but in unmanifest form it was there in me as Knowledge. An articulated form is the manifested form. The distinguishing feature of human beings is articulation of language. We can communicate through a language.
