Seminar Background

Traditional literary scholars and core linguists had believed that their disciplines were far apart from each other, and there was no way through which they could interact with one another in a fruitful way. In the late 20th century, the major paradigm shift; however, unsettled the conventional literary studies and traditional linguistics so much so that the emerging trends in literary and linguistic theories, both theoretical and practical, began contemplating on the inclusion of text linguistics, discourse analysis, pragmatics, semantics, and literary criticism in their field of studies. Literary theory moves beyond literary texts and studies art forms, film, the superhero comic book, sports, fashion, and efforts had been made to discover a common denominator between literary criticism and linguistics in terms of commonalities among ‘text’, ‘discourse’, and ‘language’. But still researchers and scholars from linguistics and literary studies sometimes raise doubt and question: whether the twain shall ever meet or not? 

          The Schoolof Languages & Literature at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra (India) is organizing a two-day seminar on “Applied Linguistics and Literary Studies” on 6-7 December 2017 at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra. The seminar will try to find out the ways where the two disciplines can interact with each other and consequently benefit one another. The seminar will be primarily attended by research scholars in languages and literature, post-graduate students of English, college lectures, assistant professors, and language practitioners. This event will provide them with an overview of the importance of linguistics in literary studies, and vice versa, and the participants will come to know about methods of improving their literary interpretations and quantitative researches through an application of literary and linguistic theories.

          ALALS welcomes contributions on any topic linking occupational and professional practice with applied linguistics and literary studies issues.

Seminar themes include:

·       Use of Applied Linguistics in Literary Studies

·       Language policy and English Literature

·       Translation and Literature

·       Literary Studies and Interpretation

·       Literature and English Language Teaching 

·       Interaction between Literary and Linguistic Theory 

·       Linguistic Contribution to Literary Studies

·       Stylistics: From Theory to Practice

·       Discourse Processing and Reading

·       Language, Literature and Culture

Seminar Objectives:

The seminar will be an educative event consisting of invited talks and panel discussions. Each panel discussion will have expert speakers. The main objectives of the seminar are:

1. To better understand the relationship between linguistics and literature- the relationship that promotes interdisciplinary in the fields and a fruitful interaction between the two disciplines.

2. To make use of scientific observations of linguistics and interpretative nature of literary studies as a key channel of information sharing to promote, display and disseminate research in the two disciplines.

3. To upgrade the level of knowledge and skills of the researchers, teachers and practitioners so that they may better use it in their future academic works.

4. To discover a common denominator between literary criticism and linguistics in terms of commonalities among ‘text’, ‘discourse’, and ‘language’.
