PR Sarkar's view on word, meaning, and verbal understanding of Language

Abstract

PR Sarkar, a great modern Indian linguist, revealed the psychological perspective of the science of Language. The psychological analysis of the Language is a peculiar and most relevant contribution in the field of linguistics. Generally, academicians do not accept psychology as part and parcel of philosophy. They accept psychology as a part of science. Nevertheless, PR Sarkar emphasized that psychology must be treated as a significant part of Philosophy. He says that Indian philosophy cannot be grasped without proper knowledge of psychology. The psychology and spiritual cult are significant components of Indian philosophy. Indian philosophers have equally focused on psychology and spiritual cult in their texts. Still, Western academicians ignored these two components, and they divided Indian philosophy into three are four parts only. They are Ontology, Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Ethics. Some intellectuals include metaphysics into ontology, therefore as per their knowledge is concerned Indian philosophy is comprised of Ontology, Metaphysics, and Ethics. According to PR Sarkar philosophy, apart from Ontology/Metaphysics, Epistemology and Ethics: The Psychology and Spiritual cult play a pivotal role in understanding Indian philosophy. Since the philosophy of Language is also the philosophy, without psychology, the philosophy of Language cannot be grasped. Without a spiritual cult, there is no mastery over Psychology. Therefore, spiritual cult and psychology must be included as an essential component of Linguistics. These two components have been thoroughly discoursed in Indian linguistics. PR Sarkar systematically and scientifically elaborated the science of Language in the light of psychology and spiritual cult. He gave a universal tool to analyze all the natural languages of the world.
This paper would like to discourse his word view, meaning and its relationship, and verbal understanding of the sentences. These are essential parts of linguistics. The view of PR Sarkar is enriching Indian linguistic Tradition by his scientific discourses and eye-opening interpretations, which culminates an enhanced platform of relooking linguistics according to psychological perspective.
