Annotation This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Sanskrit Computational Linguistics, held in Hyderabad, India, in January 2009. The 9 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions. The papers fall under four broad categories: Four papers deal with the structure of Panini's Astadhyayi. Two of them deal with parsing issues, two with various aspects of machine translation and the last one with the Web concordance of an important Sanskrit text Background of the A\d{s}\d{t}{\=a}dhy{\=a}y{\=\i}......Page 9 Introduction......Page 14 Construction Grammar and P\={a}\d{n}inian Grammar......Page 19 Computerizing P\={a}\d{n}ini’s Grammar......Page 26 Conclusion and Prospects: The Dh\={a}tu-p\={a}\d{t}ha as a Central Component of P\={a}\d{n}ini’s Grammar......Page 27 References......Page 28 Introduction......Page 34 Inter-sentential Relations......Page 35 Relations Related to the Activity-Denoting Words......Page 39 Circular Nature of the Grammatical Process......Page 48 Attributes......Page 50 Attribute Addition......Page 51 Heuristically Analyzing the Sanskrit Expressions......Page 52 Some Observations on the Process of Analysis......Page 53 The General Process of Analysis......Page 54 An Extended Model for Forming Samskrta Expressions......Page 56 Stable and Transitional $\lamda$ - States......Page 57 Executing the Transitional Process......Page 58 Analyzer (See Sec. 4)......Page 61 Output......Page 62 Introduction......Page 64 Classification and Representation of S\={a}tras......Page 65 Computational Structure......Page 67 Techniques for Conflict Resolution......Page 69 Conflict Resolution through S\={a}tras......Page 70 Conflict Resolution through {\it vartikas}......Page 71 Conclusion......Page 73 Kiparsky's rchitecture......Page 74 $L$-affixes......Page 78 Abstract orphology ersus honology......Page 81 Conclusions......Page 83 References......Page 84 Pānini's Śivasūtra-Technique......Page 86 General Problem of S-sortability......Page 89 Main Theorem on S-sortability......Page 90 First Condition for S-sortability: Main Planarity Criterion......Page 92 Second Condition for S-sortability: Minimizing the Number of Marker Elements......Page 94 Third Condition for S-sortability: Algorithmically Verifiable Criterion......Page 97 Identifying Good Candidates for Duplication......Page 99 Conclusion......Page 103 General Properties......Page 106 Enriched Context Free Rules......Page 107 Traditional Classification......Page 109 Bound Morphemes......Page 111 Conclusion......Page 112 Introduction......Page 114 Yuret's Model......Page 115 Improving Yuret's Parser......Page 116 Evaluation......Page 120 Summary......Page 122 Introduction......Page 124 $Sandhi$ Module......Page 127 Sanskrit $Subanta$......Page 129 Gender Analyzer......Page 130 Description of the Gender Analyzer......Page 131 K\d {r}danta Identification and Analysis Mechanisms......Page 132 Process of Formation of Sanskrit Verb Forms......Page 133 The Analysis of Sanskrit Verb Forms......Page 134 POS Tagger......Page 135 Description POS Tagger......Page 136 $K\={a}raka$ and $Vibhakti$ Mapping......Page 137 Result Analysis and Limitations......Page 138 Conclusion......Page 139 References......Page 140 Divergence Patterns Identified by Dorr......Page 142 Thematic Divergence......Page 143 Conflational and Inflational Divergence......Page 144 Implications of Word Order......Page 146 Gerunds and Participle Clauses......Page 148 Honorific......Page 149 Mapping of Time......Page 150 Conclusions and Discussions......Page 151 Introduction......Page 152 Interface of the Web Concordance......Page 154 Properties......Page 155 Features of the KWIC Index......Page 156 Sample of the KWIC Index......Page 159
