Alexander (Aleksandre) Fotskhishvili is a Georgian linguist and philologist specializing in the structure, history, and sociolinguistics of the Georgian language. This 2000 textbook, edited by Zurab Sarjveladze (prominent Georgian philologist and specialist in Old Georgian literature and language), was designed specifically for students of Georgian philology faculties.
The work provides a balanced analysis of both core linguistic aspects (phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon, word formation, and dialectal variation) and extralinguistic dimensions (historical development of Georgian, its place among Kartvelian languages, cultural and social functions, sociolinguistic situation in Georgia, language policy, contacts with neighboring languages, and the role of Georgian script and literary tradition). The book combines descriptive grammar with cultural-historical context, making it a practical guide for university-level study of Georgian as a native and literary language.
