Much of Tamil grammar is extensively described in the oldest available grammar book for Tamil, the Tolkāppiyam (dated between 300 BCE and 300 CE). Modern Tamil writing is largely based on the 13th century grammar Naṉṉūl , which restated and clarified the rules of the Tolkāppiyam with some modifications.
In natural language processing, textual entailment (TE), also known as natural language inference (NLI), is a directional relation between text fragments. The relation holds whenever the truth of one text fragment follows from another text.
The hypothesis has gained attention in academic circles, but has been subject to serious criticism by linguists, and remains only one of several possible scenarios for the origins of the Dravidian languages. [note 1] Elamite is generally accepted by scholars to be a language isolate, unrelated to any other known language. [3]
Dravido-Koreanic, sometimes Dravido-Koreo-Japonic, is an abandoned proposal linking the Dravidian languages to Korean and (in some versions) to Japanese. [1] A genetic link between the Dravidian languages and Korean was first hypothesized by Homer B. Hulbert in 1905. [2]
The Sapir–Whorf hypothesis in linguistics states that the grammatical structure of a mother language influences the way we perceive the world. The hypothesis has been largely abandoned by linguists as it has found very limited experimental support, at least in its strong form, linguistic determinism .
This hypothesis is further supported by several Dravidian loan words in Sanskrit like phala ‘fruit’ [14] and mayūra ‘peacock’ [15] being closer to the SD1 forms than to Proto-Dravidian forms. [13] The Akkadian word for ivory (pīru) is also said to be of Dravidian origin (*pīlu) and cognate with Brahui *pīl.
The term grammar can also describe the linguistic behaviour of groups of speakers and writers rather than individuals. Differences in scale are important to this meaning: for example, English grammar could describe those rules followed by every one of the language's speakers. [2]
