Dear list members,

I would like to announce that my book, _Language, Meaning, and Use in Indian Philosophy: An Introduction to Mukula's “Fundamentals of the Communicative Function"_ is now available, as of 16 May 2019, from Bloomsbury Academic.

The book is a new translation of the entirety of Mukula's Abhidhāvṛttamātṛkā, an early (10th-11th century CE) and influential response to Ānandavardhana's dhvani theory. It includes a commentarial essay on the entire text in detail, as well as an introduction to the Sanskrit linguistic philosophy which informs his work, an essay making connections between his theory of sentential unity and contemporary pragmatics, a transliteration of the Sanskrit text, and an analytical outline of the text with a guide to his linguistic examples and a glossary. It is designed not only for scholars and philosophers interested in Mukula's work, but as a text which could be assigned to undergraduates for teaching Indian philosophy of language.

It is available online in paperback, hardback and ebook versions at Bloomsbury's website (https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/language-meaning-and-use-in-indian-philosophy-9781350060760/).

Best,

Malcolm
