Overview
Historical
linguistics which was alternatively known as comparative philology is a branch
of linguistics. The basic assumption of studying languages historically is that
any language is not stagnant. It flows continuously and takes various shapes.
It changes on various levels, phonological, morphological, syntactic as well as
on the semantic level. Historical linguistics accounts for such changes. It
tries to find out the reasons behind the changes taken place in a certain
language within a particular time bracket. Besides, it also searches for
genetic relationship among languages.
The Sanskrit
language shows its relationship with the Indo-European at one end and to many
modern Indian languages to the other. It has undergone many changes in a wide
spectrum of time. The course will reveal the students the scientific principles
behind these changes. Language students are introduced to general linguistics
either in the graduation or in the post-graduation. This course will enable
them to widen their horizon and give a new look to the language they study. It
being an interdisciplinary course may bring the language students together.
The course
participants will learn the topics through lectures as well as through
discussion and exercises.
