| Popis: | This article traces the history of how modern Western linguistics adopted the term 'sandhi' from the Sanskrit grammatical tradition and adapted it to its theoretical needs. In particular, we will acknowledge the fundamental role played by Müller,1 who combining both Indic ('Prakriyā' grammars and 'Prātiśākhyas') and Western approaches (those of Colebrooke and Bopp) to the representation of Sanskrit grammar, coined in 1866 the labels of 'internal sandhi' and 'external sandhi'. Such labels gained momentum thanks to the works of Whitney in the 19th century and Bloomfield in the 20th century and eventually became common parlance in Western linguistics. |
