  • Résumé : Words Can Mean Anything is a volume honouring Jean-Luc Chevillard, whose scholarship has profoundly shaped the fields of Tamil studies, lexicography, philology, and manuscript studies. Bringing together leading scholars and emerging researchers from across the world, the volume explores the many ways in which words acquire, transmit, and transform meaning across texts, genres, languages, and historical periods.

    The contributions explore Tamil lexicography, semantic change, multilingual literary traditions, and the interpretation of difficult words across a wide range of texts and periods. Drawing on Tamil, Sanskrit, Manipravalam, and other sources, they highlight the importance of contextual and philological approaches to meaning.

    The volume also marks the first major publication emerging from the Tamilex project, a long-term initiative devoted to the preparation of a historical dictionary of the Tamil language of the first millennium CE. Several of the chapters originated as papers presented at the inaugural Tamilex conference, making this book the first collective outcome of that scholarly collaboration.

    Together, these studies offer fresh perspectives on the interpretation of words and texts while celebrating Jean-Luc Chevillard’s contribution to the study of Tamil language and literature.
