This volume collects three decades' worth of papers, both published and unpublished, by the distinguished linguist James Gair, the foremost Western scholar of the Sri Lankan languages Sinhala and Jaffna Tamil. The papers reflect the wide range of his interests within South Asian languages and will be of interest not only to scholars of those languages but to those interested in the theoretical issues he explores.
