Words that shapes Worlds

Indian philosophical traditions place significant emphasis on debate and discussion. The foundation of the Indian tradition is solely based on its enriched treasure in the form of inestimable ancient texts (śāștras).Eminent scholars from different fields with different approaches started to comprehend these texts in their own. But as we know individual comprehensions may differ due to their own different understanding of it. This miscommunication or misinterpretation happens due to lack of understanding of what opponent wants to communicate and this kind of poor understanding comes through usages of ambiguous language. Natural language i.e. the common language used by layman involves this kind of ambiguity. When exploring Indian linguistic philosophy Nyāya school initiated and extensively developed a model framework of language.In this book there will be an attempt to find out and understand Naiyāyikās systematic approach to develop a model framework of language. And most importantly the focal point will be understanding the concept of 'jāti' as meaning and how Naiyāyikās mainly Navya- Naiyāyikās showed its(jāti's) function in linguistic operation.
