Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) Director Basavaraj Kodagunti on Monday announced CIIL’s initiative to prepare around 75 introductory books in linguistics, incorporating greater representation of Indian languages and perspectives.“Around 15 volumes are expected to focus on Indian grammatical traditions, while other books will incorporate Indian perspectives in areas including phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics,” he said at the inauguration of a two-week orientation programme on Indian Grammatical Traditions at CIIL.Prof. Kodagunti called upon the younger generation, particularly teachers and researchers, to carry these studies forward and integrate them into their academic work.He said Indian grammatical traditions cannot be confined to Sanskrit alone. Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Pali, Prakrit and other Indian languages have their own traditions and histories of grammatical analysis. He pointed to the interaction among different linguistic traditions as an important feature of India’s intellectual history. Published - August 31, 2026 09:06 pm IST
