Sphota theory language in indian thought

1. SPHOTA THEORY LANGUAGE IN INDIAN THOUGHT

2. SPHOTA THEORY Bhartruhari is the proponent of Sphota theory. “A bursting forth of illumination or insight” derived from the meaning of the word “ sphut ” it is the formational word of sphota .

3. BHARTRUHARI’S VIEW OF IT!! Bhartruhari’s view is that meaning is not conveyed from the speaker to the listener, rather, the spoken words serve only as stimulus to reveal or uncover the meaning which was already present in the mind of the hearer.
