Exploring the intersection of language, cognition, and communication at Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Madras

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, cultural contexts, and technological applications, focusing especially on Indian languages.
