Exploring Linguistics

Our lab investigates a wide range of linguistic phenomena through theoretical, typological, and experimental approaches.

Our Research Philosophy

We believe that understanding language requires a multidisciplinary approach. Through state-of-the-art experimental facilities and partnerships with leading national and international institutions, we investigate how linguistic structures interact with cognitive processes.

"Focusing especially on Indian languages, we bridge the gap between theoretical linguistics and practical cognitive applications."
