Kapil Muni Tiwary (born 1932) is a former professor and head of the department of Linguistics and Literature at Patna University[1] and currently a professor of English in Yemen.[2]

Biography

Kapil Muni Tiwary was born in Nainijor village in the Bhojpur District of Bihar, India. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1966 with a dissertation on grammar and phonology, Comparative reconstruction of Indo-Iranian sounds: On the basis of 'An Avesta grammar in comparison with Sanskrit, part 1' by A. V. Williams Jackson.

Tiwary is a scholar of Southeast Asian languages. He has published on such topics as echo words in Bhojpuri and has argued that echo-word constructions (in which "a word is repeated without its initial consonant, sometimes with a vowel change") can function as a kind of secret language.[3] He coined the term "institutionalized weeping" in a study of weeping among Tamil women.[4]

Tiwary's first book, Panini's description of Sanskrit nominal compounds, was published by Janaki Prakashan, Patna in 1984. Another book, Language Deprivation and the socially disadvantaged: with special reference to Bihar, was published by Janki Prakashan in 1994.[5]

Tiwary was one of the editors of a bi-annual journal of social sciences and humanities, Explorations.[6][7] He also edited an anthology of English prose, Aspects of English prose: an anthology, with R.C. Prasad in 1986.

Linguist

His articles and books on various branches of linguists have been of special interest for the scholars in India and abroad.[8][9][10][11]
