Assistant Professor Grade-II
Centre of Excellence for Indian Knowledge Systems
(1) Formally trained in Sanskrit language and Linguistics, my research explores the cognitive aspect of the Karakas (Arguments of the verb), Sabdabodha (Indian Theories of Verbal Cognition), and Vakya-laksana (Sentence-definitions). Following the guidelines in the fields of Psycholinguistics and Sociolinguistics, my work translates the theoretical discussion in ancient Sanskrit texts into an experimental outlook not only to validate the theories but also to derive their scope and uncover limitations. Currently, the research is limited to the Pen-Paper and Eye-Tracking methods, I aspire to use modern neuro-cognitive methods in future.
(2) Being trained in the German and Persian languages, I am interested in Historical Linguistics, primarily from the syntactic and semantic perspectives.
(3) My recent interest in the Virtue Epistemology branch of Philosophy allowed me to explore ideas on 'Virtues and Ethics' in the ancient Indian Texts.
(4) Written Language Teaching is my another recent interest that adheres to modern pedagogical methods. I plan to create pedagogy models to teach Devanagari script to pre-school children by following 'Whole-Language Hypothesis'.
(5) I work on all levels of theory, science, experiment and application. I look forward to collaborating across disciplines which will engage fundamental theories on Language.
