Sound Synthesis in IF, IIr and Sanskrit presents a full-fledged history of the development of sandhi (or Sound Synthesis ) from the IE stage upto Sanskrit, through
IIr.
Although Sandhi in Skt has been worked out by Panini etc in ancient days and by Whitney and Macdonell etc. in recent times, a full-fledg d historical treatment was lacking. This work presents a comprehensive picture af the historical treatment of Skt. sandbi. Firstly the author has presented the development of sandhi in the IE stage and its further development in the lIc stage, and finally he has clearly shoun the innovations to be attributed to Skt. The author has also worked out the historical back ground of the except.onal sandhi forms of Skt, which is no doubt an additional attraction of this work.
