cultural events influence literature written in English. Although the scope of the course is quite
expansive, the readers shall focus on early 16 th to late 20thcentury that is till the Modern era.

socio-cultural and political cross connections. In its broader spectrum, the course covers a
reference to the multiple factors from economic theories to religious, philosophical and
metaphysical debates that overlap in these literary works of diverse nature and time periods
under multiple contexts. The reading of literature in this way i.e. within socio-cultural context
will help the readers become aware of the fact that literary works are basically a referential
product of the practice that goes back to continuous interdisciplinary interaction.

Course Title: History of English Literature II: 19 th Century Realism up to

Contemporary Times
Course Code: ENG -4405

Aims & Objectives:

This course will focus on some of the major literary movements of the 20 th Century. The spirit of
the course should be taken as an extension of any of the previous courses suggested in the literary
history; like the one in Year 01, Semester 1, but this time the historical topics are to be accessed a
bit differently. Here the students are to explore the history of Modern literature from the
perspective of overlapping major literary trends and tradition of the time. For example, at its
core, the course will explore the changing forms of Realism as a literary requirement during the
20th century. It will explore some of the divergent offshoots of Realism like Naturalism,
Symbolism, Existentialism, Absurdism, Surrealism, and many others. By its extension, it will be
very challenging for the teachers to tackle controversial debates such as seeing modern and 20 th
century ―Romanticism‖ as types of Realism! This course on the one hand supplements historical
survey while on the other it offers an exposure to forms of Modern drama, fiction, and poetry, the
courses to be offered in the coming semesters.

texts through changing modes like film or video or other screen and sonic technologies, the debate
here initiates a higher critical level of understanding. Students opting for this course will
comprehend the growing combinations of screen reading, media forms, literature and literary
criticism.

linguistic and sequential structures evident in spoken interaction. This course investigates the
role of these linguistic-sequential structures in the construction and achievement of social
actions; and by the end of the module the students should be able to apply the core analytical
concepts of conversation analysis (CA) to the study of spoken interaction and identify linguistic-
sequential phenomena in a body of data (audio recordings and transcriptions) by develop a
coherent argument concerning those phenomena.

Course Title: Language Documentation

Course Title: ENG-7131

Introduction
The languages of the world are disappearing at an alarming rate. It has been suggested that about
half of the world‘s languages have disappeared in the past 500 years (Nettle and Romaine 2000),
and some linguists estimate that between 60 to 90%of the world‘s languages may be at risk of
extinction within the next hundred years (Romaine 2007, Ethnologue 2016). This situation leads
to loss of diversity and important cultural knowledge. Since the 1990s, efforts have been made
by several bodies including UNESCO to address this problem. Linguists and anthropologists
have been at the forefront in the effort to at least document the languages before they disappear.
In some cases, efforts are made to revitalize the languages as well. Language documentation is
facilitated by modern technological advances that enable the digitization and integration of
video, audio and textual material.

135
Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to teach students to use new technologies to document languages as a
way to deal with language endangerment. It will appraise students with the present linguistic
state of affairs and its consequences for global linguistic ecology. Students will learn about
language documentation as an interdisciplinary field of linguistic inquiry and practice, which
deals primarily with endangered languages. This includes various aspects of fieldwork, such as
the expectations of the documentalist and those of potential communities whose languages are
documented, and the ethics and practicalities involved. An important aspect of this course is the
integration of the study of language structure, language use and the culture of language. This
means that in addition to issues involving the documentation of lexical knowledge and
grammatical structure, students will learn about cultural and ethnographic understanding of
language. Tools for recording, processing and archiving digital data will also be learned. These
include using Toolbox and Fieldworks Language Explorer commonly known as FLEx to create
lexical and textual databases, Isle Metadata Initiative (IMDI) for creating metadata for digital
data that is prepared for archiving, and ELAN for integrating textual, audio and visual data in a
time-aligned format. Finally, students will learn how to write grant proposals to document
endangered languages.

Course Title: Language Typology

Course Title: ENG- 7132

Course Objective
In this course, we will identify and study some of these basic patterns. Further, we will explore
possible reasons for the existence of language types and linguistic universals, seeking
explanations where possible in the communicative function of language as well as in the
historical evolution of languages

Introduction
Human languages, especially those spoken by members of unfamiliar and distant cultures, appear
on the surface to be very different from one another. However, closer examination reveals that
languages differ in systematic ways and that they can often be divided into a relatively small
number of basic types.
