“…In Vedic, instead, adpositions are characterized by polyptotic usages and may often be used at distance from their nominal complements in structures that are not only motivated by meter and that rather reveal their still adverbial distribution (cf. Speyer 1886: 113ff;Speyer 1896: 79-94;Delbrück 1888: §12;García Ramón 1997;Hettrich 1988;Hettrich 2002;Schneider 2010;Casaretto 2011). Preverbs are established strategies of word formation not only in Classical Greek (unlike the extensive use of tmesis of Homeric Greek), but also in Latin since its earliest documentation, where tmesis is only recorded for some religious formulas such as ad vos sacro 'I implore you' for obsecro vos and sub vos placo 'I supplicate you' for supplico vos attested by Festus.…”

Abstract:It is usually assumed that Latin parts of speech cannot be properly applied to other languages, especially outside the Indo-European domain. We will see, however, that the traditional distinction into eight parts of speech is established only in the late period of the classical school of grammar, while originally parts of speech varied in number and in type according to different grammarians, as well as to different periods and genres. Comparisons will be drawn on the one hand with parts of speech in the Greek and Indian tradition, and on the other with genetically unrelated languages where parts of speech -notably adjectives and adverbs -are scarcely grammaticalized. This may be revealing of the manner in which the ancients used to categorize their language.

“… The meanings and functions of the preverbs and prepositions of the Ṛgveda , though not specifically their positioning in the clause‐initial string, are treated in an ongoing series of publications initiated by Hettrich: Hettrich (), Hettrich et al. (), Casaretto (, b, 2011a–d, forthcoming a, b), Schneider (, , b, , b, forthcoming a, b). …”

Accented Clitics in the Ṛgveda

I discuss the most controversial and widely studied part of the Ṛgvedic Sanskrit clause, the clause-initial string. I focus in particular on a few sets of words -relative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns and preverbs -arguing that their treatment in previous analyses requires revision. This is because they can be, in some contexts, clitics. I argue that clisis must be defined in primarily syntactic rather than prosodic terms: Ṛgvedic clitics all share certain syntactic properties, but they do not all necessarily share any single prosodic property (such as lack of lexical accent). I subsequently examine the consequences of this reanalysis of pronouns and preverbs in the clause-initial string for syntactic accounts of Ṛgvedic word order.
