Meeting Description:

The Himalayan languages broadly refer to the languages of north-western and
north-eastern India, where languages of Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman,
Austro-Asiatic, and Tai-Kadai linguistic stocks are spoken; the languages of
Nepal, Bhutan and the Tibetan Plateau; the languages of northern Burma and
Sichuan; and the languages of Nuristan, Baltistan and the Burushaski speaking
area in the west. This area is known for its large scale of linguistic
diversity where being multilingual is a need rather than an urge. 

Considering the huge diversity of ethno-linguistic peoples of this region and
the ‘contact’ linguistic situation, it could be well assumed that different
research insights may have emerged in the works of various scholars. The
Himalayan Languages Symposium would provide a platform to discuss and share
these linguistic aspects of Himalayan languages.

This conference aims at exploring the diachronic as well as synchronic
description of Himalayan languages along with their theoretical perspectives.
This conference intends to be the meeting ground of various linguists working
on the documentation, preservation, description and theoretical developments
of Himalayan languages. 

This year at Tezpur University, we will pay special attention to the following
areas of research in the Himalayan Languages:

1)    Phonetics and Phonology
2)    Cognitive Linguistics
3)    Syntax
4)    Semantics
5)    Morphology
6)    Language technology development
7)    Natural language processing
8)    Writing systems and typography
9)    Language and politics
10)  Migration pattern of the greater Himalayan region
11)  History of linguistic research in the Himalayan region
12)  Speech technology
13)  Second language acquisition
14)   Language documentation 
15)  Sociolinguistics
16)  Pragmatics
17)  Psycho-linguistics / Neuro-linguistics 

The Conference will be held in the Department of English and Foreign
Languages, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Tezpur University, Assam,
India, during 5-7 July, 2017.
