Bangla Bhashar Byakaran by Jyotibhushan Chaki [Hardcover]

"Language, sentence structure, word choice, meaning, grammatical rules, idioms, and other relevant aspects that are considered to be the standard practices are what the 'Anandabazar Patrika Usage Guide' series is dedicated to. If language is a medium to convey one's thoughts to others, then how should that medium be used, what should be the structure of the sentences, and how should words be chosen, and how can our language be consistent with our natural idioms—this series essentially indicates those methods. The origins, development, and transformation of language—everything is covered in the planned circle of this series. At the same time, it is also thought of some dictionaries and word books, exactly the kind of dictionaries and glossaries that have not been written in Bengali before. The person who has expertise in a particular subject is responsible for writing the book on that subject. Not every opinion published in the usage guide series is of Anandabazar Patrika. But that does not matter. This newspaper actually aims to create an environment where individuals who are proficient in various subjects can freely express their opinions and decisions. After Suniti Kumar Chatterjee's 'Vashaprakash Bangla Grammar', no grammar book has been written in Bengali for a long time—such a book that is not aimed at the curriculum, but will meet the daily needs of the general public and satisfy the inquisitive mind. With this view, this grammar book is planned. From Panini to Vidyasagar—this two and a half thousand years of Sanskrit grammar, and from Manuel to Suniti Kumar—this two and a half hundred years of Bengali grammar background is briefly discussed here. Along with this, a brief introduction to traditional grammar and modern grammatical thinking has been presented. The author has shown that the seeds of Noam Chomsky-influenced Western modern grammatical thinking were also scattered in ancient Indian grammatical thinking, and at the same time hinted at the future path of Bengali grammar. Along with the phonetic, morphological, and linguistic aspects of traditional Bengali grammar, various examples of proper and improper use have been presented in this book. As one follows grammar and linguistics, the distinctive styles of the current language are highlighted. From this perspective, the book is worthy of becoming an inspiration for the composition of standard colloquial grammar. With an impeccable mix of erudition and taste, this book is delightful from beginning to end."
