I am a linguist by training.
My long-term goal is to assume leadership in academic excellence. In an academic institution, my priority will be to train students for a successful career in literature and Linguistics.
I prefer to teach the advanced courses as well as basic courses (UG/PG level) in Language & Literature. Emphasis is given on interactive teaching.
BA (Hons): Bengali (Jadavpur University)
MA: Bengali; specialization in Linguistics (Jadavpur University); Gold Medal.
MPhil: Bengali; specialization in Linguistics (Jadavpur University)
PhD: Department of Linguistics, University of Calcutta.
From 2009 to 2011, after serving as a Contractual Full Time Teacher and a Govt Approved Part Time Teacher (UG & PG) respectively in the Department of Bengali; Tamralipta Mahavidyalaya, Purba Medinipore, I was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bengali, Gauhati University, Assam from 2011 onwards just after the completion of my M.Phil. Then I moved to the Department of Bengali, Presidency University as an Assistant Professor in September 2015.
During my MPhil research, I explored the area of Sociolinguistics, an applied part of Linguistics. Throughout the Doctoral research work, entitled as 'The Syntactic Derivation of Bangla Infinitivals' my interest was in the field of Syntax, a core part of Linguistics. The substantivist model, an alternative approach to the formalistic approach of Mainstream Generative Grammar was followed in this work. We have identified various distinctive features of Bangla nonfinite verbs both in Sadhu & Cholit varieties.
My further research work is going to fulfill the ambition of becoming a substantivist linguist in the future.
Since my joining at Gauhati University in 2011, I started teaching mainly Linguistics and Bengali medieval literature. At present, apart from those two areas I am teaching Drama,Children's literature, 19thC literature and Research Methodology.
At Gauhati University I supervised two students to complete their M.Phil dissertations.
I am interested in supervising the students mainly in the field of Linguistics.
