Patiala, May 5

A week-long workshop on “Linguistics, Phonetics and Communication” ended at the School of Languages at Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Punjab State Open University (JGND PSOU). Vice-Chancellor Prof Karamjeet Singh eulogised the endeavour of the School of Languages for providing such skill enhancement opportunities to the participants. He said, “This unique workshop aimed to acquaint the participants with the nuances of phonetics and linguistics, processes of language acquisition and discourse analysis.”

Technical sessions were held during the one-week workshop, where acquainted learners, faculty and PhD scholars spoke about the nuances of linguistic analysis. The technical sessions focused on language variation and change, socio-historical and anthropological perspectives of language.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
