Meeting Description:

It is a known fact that the subject of Linguistic research called 'Language'
has been changing its colours and shape by the impact of social change and for
the purpose of the changing needs of the dynamic society. No language is
static and all living languages are dynamic. Similarly, the forms and contents
of the literatures in languages are also changing in a significant manner in
modern times. Moreover, new genres of literature are in vogue now-a-days. So,
plenty of linguistic and literary approaches are being adopted by linguists
and literary scholars. Research approaches are also changing. The dynamics of
language have been studied by linguists in many perspectives viz., phonetic
change, change in writing system, etymology, influence, interference,
borrowing, code-switching, code mixing, semantic change, ontogenic change,
phylogenic change, reconstruction, diglossia, etc. Similarly, the method of
teaching and learning a language also had many amendments (Grammar translation
method, Direct method, Communicative method, Task based approach, Structural
approach etc.) Keeping the sea of changes that have taken place both in
language analysis and language teaching methods in mind, if we look at the
modern languages, whether it is English, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, or
even tribal languages, we can unearth quite a number of interesting features
in them and also in imparting those languages. In the same fashion, the
literature is also being researched and taught from different viewpoints as
modern day genres of literature provides a number of domains for applying
various approaches in order to understand the totality of  literature and its
changes both in form and theme. This rationale prompted us to provide a
platform, namely, an international conference for deliberating the cited
research issues with innovative stances for the purpose of bettering the
linguistic science as a field of enquiry, as a practice and literary research
as well.
