One reason for this is the Sanskrit language, because the sound and structure of the language, because the sound and structure of the language itself appear to reflect and convey that truth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author also explores these connections in other languages, and in the meaning of meaning. The book is written in a way that can be understood by the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003ePronunciation guide\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tDifferent Premises on which language may be founded\u003cbr\u003e2.\tHow may different language relate to truth ?\u003cbr\u003e3.\tBasic elements of language as evident is Sanskrit\u003cbr\u003e4.\tWords: their formation and classes \u003cbr\u003e5.\tSentences and relationship within them\u003cbr\u003e6.\tSound, word and meaning.
