Book Description

Foreword

The Central Institute of Indian Languages was set up on the 17th July 1969 with a view to assisting and coordinating the development of Indian languages. The Institute was charged with the responsibility of serving as a nucleus to bring together all the research and literary output from the various linguistic streams to a common head and narrowing the gap between basic research and developmental research in the fields of languages and linguistics in India.

The Institute and its four Regional Language Centres are thus engaged in research and teaching which leads to the publication of a wide-ranging variety of materials. Materials designed for teaching/learning at different levels and suited to specific needs is one of the major areas of interest in its series of publications. Basic research relating to the acquisition of language and study of language in its manifold psycho- social relations constitute another broad range of its interest. These materials will include materials produced by the members of the staff of the Central Institute of Indian Languages and its Regional Language Centres and associated scholars from universities and institutions both Indian and foreign.

Dr. Norman H. Zide, Professor of Linguistics in the South Asia Language and Area Centre, University of Chicago, USA was supported by the Central Institute of Indian Languages by a small grant during 1971-72. This assignment was arranged under the Ford Foundation Grant to the Institute.

The publication of this book by the Central Institute of Indian Languages is another example of its growing ties with scholars in the Universities, both Indian and foreign, and its role as an apex national organisation providing support in meeting specific needs in the study of Indian languages in all its aspects. In the country there is little facility for studying the Munda and Sino-Tibetan languages. The Central Institute of Indian Languages through its own efforts and through the internationally reputed scholars working in these areas is trying to fill the gap of knowledge in regard to these two families of languages. I am grateful to Dr. Zide for writing this monograph for us while in India.
