Scholastic Pali. The scholastic Pali used by the commentators on the Buddhist Pali canon(5th to 20th centuries)

用帕利语（一种印度中部语言）写成的佛教经典有着悠久的接受历史，首先是在一系列注释中，这些注释补充了整个经典，并解释了从世纪开始的它的含义（atthakatha）。这些评论对他们的一部分是增加了各种子评论（tika），写在10至20世纪。这一丰富的评论文学已全部流传下来。通常的评论阐述各自的经典文本的意义在辩证对话：首先一个主角的对立学派的思想提出他的反对意见，对一个给定的解释（不一定是Siddhantavadin），然后这种反对意见是驳斥要么由代表的评论家的学校自己，或间接地提请其他对话者进入辩论，通过转发他的论点。根据这种模式，讨论通常福尔斯落入形式化的辩证结构，由“断言”（pubbapakkha）和“证明的教学”（siddhanta）组成。该pubbapakkha往往是拒绝事先由其他pubbapakkha，只有然后Siddhantavadin宣布对此事的最后一句话。这使得将辩论中提出的每一点都归因于有关各方成为一项困难和耗时的任务。由于在介绍各种反对意见和答复的段落中，常规的词语和习惯表达往往具有特定的含义或功能，这一任务就更加复杂了。这个术语从来没有被系统地确定，语法描述，或包括在词汇。该项目旨在确定这些对话的具体结构特征和术语，以有助于更全面地了解（仍在很大程度上未被探索的）评论文献，从而加深我们对较年轻的帕利语（5世纪至20世纪）的了解。调查的目的是涵盖整个语料库的评论佛教帕利佳能（其中范围从第5至20世纪）。由于帕利注释的经院风格清楚地反映了梵语注释文献的所谓Bhasya风格，因此与经院梵语的相似之处和偏离也将被考虑在内。

The Buddhist canon written in Pali, a middle Indic language, has a long reception history documented, first and foremost, in a range of commentaries supplementing the entire canon with explanations of its meaning (atthakatha) from the 5th century onward. These commentaries on their part are augmented by various subcommentaries (tika), written between the 10th to 20th centuries. This wealth of commentarial literature has been handed down to us in its entirety. Often the commentaries expound the meaning of the respective canonical text in dialectic dialogues: first a protagonist of  an opposite school of thought raises his objection against a given interpretation (not necessarily that of the Siddhantavadin), and then this objection is refuted either by the representative of the commentator's school himself, or indirectly by drawing other interlocutors into the debate by forwarding his arguments. According to this pattern, the discussion usually falls into the formalized dialectic structure consisting of 'assertion' (pubbapakkha) and 'proven teaching' (siddhanta). The pubbapakkha is often rejected beforehand by other pubbapakkhas, and only then the Siddhantavadin pronounces the final word on the matter. This makes it a difficult and time-consuming task to attribute every single point put forward in the debate to the individual parties involved. The task is complicated further by the fact that conventional words and idiomatic expressions often acquire specific meanings or functions in the passages introducing the various objections and replies. This terminology has never been systematically determined, grammatically described, or included in lexica. The project aims to determine the specific structural features and terminology of these dialogues in order to contribute to a more thorough understanding of the (still largely unexplored) commentarial literature, and thereby to deepen our knowledge of the younger Pali language (5th to 20th centuries). The investigation is intended to cover the entire corpus of commentaries to the Buddhist Pali canon (which range from the 5th to 20th centuries). Since the scholastic style of the Pali commentaries clearly reflects the so-called Bhasya-style of commentarial literature in Sanskrit, parallels to, and deviations from, scholastic Sanskrit will also be taken into consideration.
