International School of Dravidian Linguistics is organizing a Three Day


National Seminar on “India as a Linguistic Area – A Revisit” during 5-7
February 2025 in collaboration with Central Institute of Indian Languages.
Emeneau (1956) first recognized „India as a Linguistic Area‟. Some
attempts have been carried out to map Linguistic and Cultural Traits, since then.
For instance, Linguistic Traits such as the existence of Retroflex sounds, SOV
Word Order, absence of Prepositions, Morphological Reduplications
(Expressives), Echo Formations, etc., have been discussed. Process of
acculturation has also been equally marked. Yet we have not given due attention
to map a compendium of the socio-cultural and linguistic processes of
Indianness.
Keeping the antiquity of coexistence in mind, and understanding the
outcomes of the policies adopted since independence for maintaining the unity
in diversity, the seminar proposes to deeply discuss various trajectories of these
Linguistic and Cultural processes.
Linguistic and Cultural Achievements as part of the nation state in
strengthening fraternity, integration and shaping the Indianness is intended to
examine through this seminar. Grey areas, if any disrupts this process of unity,
may also get explored.
