Overview

About the programme

Although India has an ancient grammatical tradition dating back to Panini and other Indian grammarians of the 5th and 6th century BCE and beyond, modern approaches to Linguistics have become established at a relatively late period within India’s academic history.

The University of Delhi was the pioneer in setting up a proper department of modern linguistics. This programme has been offered in this department since the 1960s and has, therefore, attained an international reputation for vigorous teaching and research.
