FORWORD
|
The central institute of indian languages was set up on the 17th
july,1969, with a view to assisting and co-ordinating the
development of indian languages. The institute was charged with
responsibility of serving as nucleus to bring together all the
reasearch and litereary output from the various lingusitic
streams to a common head and narrowing the gap between bsic
reserach and developmental research in the fields of languages
and linguitics in India.
The Institute and its four Regional Language Centers are thus
engaged in research and teaching which lead to the publication
of a wide-ranging variety of materials. Preparation of
materioals designed for teaching/Learning ar different levels
and suited to specific needs is one of the major areas of
interest of the Institute. Basic research relating to the
acquistion of language and study of language in its manifold
psycho-social relations constitute another broad range of its
interest. The publication will include materials produced by the
members of the staff of the Central Institute of Indian
Kanguages and its Regional Language Centres and associated
scholars from universities and institutions, both Indian and
foreign.
The Central Insitute of Indian Languages has initiated the
Grammer series in non-literate languages in particlar presenting
a description of every such languge in the sub-continent. This
is undertaken with a view to producing instructional materials
necessary for learning and teaching the language concerned. It
is also expected to be of synchronic and diachronic study of
languages,
If these materials help solving problems, both individual and
corporate, and help in understanding the people speaking the
language, then our efforts will be deemed to have been amply
rewarded.
