Studying grammar was seen as having an inherent philosophical component in ancient Indian traditions. Learning the grammar of other languages was vital to understanding their cognitional architectures from within their own framework. One of the properties of stem based languages is that there is no category of prepositions. Prepositions in subject object languages are seen as functional links having certain case values. Reductive linguists have coined the term postpositions implying that only the syntax position of these functional words is changed from front to back. In actuality this is far from the case. The gamut of both these kinds of markers (whether as suffixes/prefixes or as separate words) build a complex linguistic architecture and topos of space-time and its kinetics axle. The potential for abstractive poesis is enormous.

Linguistic Particles: A Physics of Language

A linguistic epistemology based on a conceptual framework of subject-verb-object – irrespective in whatever sequence – does not understand the complex word formation in root and stem based languages. The word is not the standalone primary semantic unit. It is only a certain rendering of the root/stem. Take the example of the word rhythm in English. It is derived from the original Sanskrit rendered root of rit(m). English is a language that borrows from many language streams, hence its adhoc-ness and often lack of any semantic context or associative pattern.
