Meeting Description:

Even though the Hindi language has been knowledgeably researched by a
significant number of accomplished modern linguists in the last sixty years or
so, much of the needed research carried out during this period of time is
theory-oriented rather than language-oriented. Consequently, a great deal of
the Hindi data which has been used to carry out linguistic analyses is subject
to having been purposefully fabricated. Regrettably, while such types of data
may serve to open up a theory-oriented discussion within some linguistic
framework, they deflect scholarly attention away from many unexplored
structural aspects of the Hindi language.

On the lexical side, if we carefully look at the lexicographical development
of Hindi during the last century, we notice that most of the prestigious
monolingual dictionaries of Hindi list loads of ancient words of Sanskrit
origin as the core vocabulary of Hindi whereas only a few try to deal with the
corpus of spoken Hindi. Unfortunately, none of these dictionaries addresses
the key issues related to the standardization of Hindi lexicon.

Due to this complex situation, the Hindi teacher often has to confront many
challenges. On one hand, he or she naturally clings to the idea that a
time-honored and deep tradition of historical Sanskrit grammar and lexicon
represent the only useful tools to be used in the teaching of Hindi. On the
other hand, he or she has to keep pace with recent developments and apply new
insights from modern linguistic research in the classroom.  These
contradictory requirements can impede successful Hindi language teaching.

This international conference is intended to provide a needed platform for
scholars from diverse schools of thought working in the field of teaching
Hindi as a foreign or second language and who want to share their experiences
with other colleagues engaged in the same field. Two days of this academic
conference will include four plenary talks along with a general session or, if
needed, two parallel sessions to consider various key issues in Hindi grammar
and lexicon.

All studies that aim to carefully explore any central component of Hindi
grammar (i.e. phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics or
pragmatics, etc.) and have some bearing on a successful Hindi teaching are
welcome as are those classroom experiments which open up alternative paths to
teaching Hindi effectively. On the lexical side, those comparative studies
that properly investigate different Hindi registers and those based on
comprehensive analysis of Hindi vocabulary (i.e. tatsam, tadbhav, etc.) are
particularly welcome.
