Description :

A two-day national workshop on ‘Grammar Writing for Lesser Researched Languages’ will be held from November  22nd-23rd, 2019 at Tezpur University, Assam, India.


Grammar writing for any language is an arduous and mammoth task. It requires linguistic training, skill and a dedicated mind to observe various dimensions of a language at all linguistic levels such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and so on. Starting with the phonetic inventory, a field worker has to explore all the possibilities of collectingdataand elicit,analyze and finally formalize them. If a language is unknown, unfamiliar, unclassified and lacks any documentation, the effort and pain would be double. Christian Missionaries in many parts of the world have undertaken the task of Grammar Writing along with their evangelical mission. But, unfortunately, most of them were neither trained linguists nor they had the resources to document a grammar of a language properly; which is why,  we have many ‘first of its kind grammar’ in many languages which are not up to the mark.
