Merger or disctplinc~ could be best instanttaled by ,~,·flat was once mcknarnl'd ns 'hyphenated' lmgutstlcs (classical cases hke 'SocJO ImgUJsucs' and 'Psycho lingUistics' provHk good examples. the latest ~mg 'Geo-lmguistics' growmg on the ashes of what was once rccogni7cd as 'Dtalect geography'). These compounded disctplincs show signs of merger \iery clear! y as the stitches arc quite \ tsible. It takes long time to drop the hyphens and get more mtegrated. However, pracutioners of these dtsctpltnes had thctr own dogma and lcammg history because of whiL"h they would usually try to push (or pull) the conJOlllOO words (and worldc;J apal1 (so much so that separate approaches would emerge). But m the htstory of language sctences. several dtsctphnes have emerged and ha \ c made thct r mark l'hev- haH' emerged through a or longer process hcmg together in a mutuall~ benefictal manner. In hard core areas. Phon~ttcs and Scmanltcs arc two dassical examples. In applted language science Language Teachmg & Testmg IS by far the best c\amplc of tius k1nd. Here too. one has seen ideas cmanattng from ditferent dJsc1plines and convergtng to create a common base ~orne areas in Lmguisttcs had always provJdl.-J attra~.:tive meet111g grounds for scholar::. with varied tnterests to work on Some others emerged. but got sidcltncd again. (for instance, the once popular. Morphology. which bounced back as Word ~om1ation. carne up agam as a pomt of focu~ wJth its ongtnaltttlel However, there have also heen dJsc1plines whrch grew OUt of ltngul-.llt:" or from dts"alt!>laclton o!'

The areas such as Language Teaching always attracted the faculty at the Central lnstitute of [ndian Languages. and as a result. a lot of mtcresttng matenals got produced l'hc Jnterrnethate Course m Kannada has been produced in the same senes by the Southern Regional Language Centre of the lnstJlule. They cover a wide range of wnting styles usoo in "" the language so that both teachers and second language learners using them benefit from the lessons The texts used here are not mcn:ly instances of ideal writing styles. they arc also used to teach certain grammattcal patterns and lexical coinages TI1c language teaching matcnals produced by the Institute have so far been tned out through a senes of I 0 months lntens1vc Training Programme currently offered m the seven reg10nal centreb of the lnstttute at three levels: Bas1c, Intermediate and AdvanceJ courses The present book 1s suttable to be used not only for such language learners who are to be taught as a part of our programme, but also for those who have had tntroductton to the language through a fonnal system. and yet have not had chance to go beyond the bas1cs. I congratulate the teachers who have used and perfected the matcnal as much a.<; the aulhor. Dr.M.N.Leelavath1 . The suggestions, cummems, cnllclsms from all those who may use this teachmg matenal will be most welcome.
