Title of the Project: TRAINING ON ‘APPLICATION OF STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN LINGUISTIC STUDIES’ 2. Brief Objective and Justification (2 or 3 sentences): The goal is to impart training in the use of statistical methodologies and tools in the study and analysis of language data to the researchers and academicians in linguistics of the North Eastern (N-E) states as well as of non-N-E states. It is expected that such a training would enrich them academically and help them in doing research on linguistics having sufficient quantitative content, and also provide them with better job opportunities. The emphasis would be on application of some of the basic statistical tools and methods in different domains of applied and theoretical linguistics. The workshop will be held at the North-East Centre of ISI at Tezpur with appropriate faculties drawn from ISI, Kolkata and ISI, N-E Centre. The Chairman of the Committee for ISI N-E Centre has agreed to extend all possible help in this regard. 3. Date of Commencement: April 2018. 4. Expected Date of Completion: March 2019 5. Names of Proposing Scientists: Niladri Sekhar Dash and Probal Dasgupta 6. Names of other Associated Scientists: None 7. Scope and Justification of the Project: Perhaps this will be the first training programme of this kind in India where the importance of statistics in research and application of language data will be discussed at length.
