Mysuru: A six-day Boot Camp on Theoretical and Experimental Phonology is being organised by the Educational Technology Unit (ETU) of Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysuru, to train the participants on contemporary theories and practices in the area of phonology with their application on field and laboratory data. Participants will be exposed with the most relevant frameworks prevalent in the area of (theoretical and experimental) phonology, and also their comparative preference over each other given choice research focus.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof. G. Uma Maheshwara Rao said that there is need of more research in the area of linguistics, particularly phonology. While focusing on the Historical Phonology, he said that the discipline of phonology may be regarded as old as the evolution of human race itself.
