Objectives

In line with the stated objectives (see annexture II) the Wordweb Project is moving on attaining five objectives as follows:

• Creation of a lexical database of new words to bridge the lexical awareness gap between Sanskrit and modern languages.

• Adaptation to modern usage of new words to ensure that Sanskrit is also a living language ready to imbibe modern ideas and concepts.

• Coinage of new Sanskrit words considering morphological accuracy, semantic proximity, and natural acceptance with the scope of further modifications in an online forum.

• Promotion and Encouragement of using newly coined Sanskrit words by creating an interest in the younger generation in the language to inculcate modernity with antiquity.

• Digital Access to Wordweb by creating a user-friendly interface and online linguistic forum of experts and users to accept relevant suggestions for further enrichment of the newly coined entries. To make the dictionary available online, allowing a global audience to access Sanskrit vocabulary resources at their fingertips. The digital platform will offer search capabilities.
