Panini's zero morphs as allomorphs in the complexity of linguistic context

The paper aims at reconstructing some steps of the evolution of a key concept of traditional Indian grammar, namely that of linguistic zero, focusing on the earlier authors of the paṇinian tradition, namely Patanjali (II B.C.) and Bhartrhari (V A.D.). The Ancient Indian descriptive method of this zero is compared with some relevant Linguistic theories.
