I am currently a professor of Japanese linguistics and culture at the University of Dhaka. I was formerly a Visiting Research Fellow (2014–2015) of the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL) and Kobe Gakuin University (1994–1995). I am an awardee of the AILA Solidarity Award (2008), given by the International Association of Applied Linguistics. I have studied psychology, sociology, and statistics at the University of Dhaka and language education at the Hyogo University of Teachers Education. I have taught the language history of Bangla at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies as an adjunct faculty member and the sociology of Bangladesh at Kobe Gakuin University as a visiting professor. My areas of research interest cover general linguistics, sociolinguistics and anthropological linguistics, language policy, and language and politics, focusing on the language situation in South Asia.
While teaching various academic subjects, I have also been pursuing research on various anthropological, socio-cultural, and linguistic issues as a faculty member. I have pursued most of my research while affiliated with my permanent workplace, i.e., the University of Dhaka. Moreover, I have undertaken research, having affiliated with a few Japanese universities as a visiting research fellow or as a member of a collaborative research team. I conducted research at Kobe Gakuin University (October 1994 to March 1995) and the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (October 2013 to September 2015) during my tenure as a visiting fellow.
The research I have pursued or have been pursuing to this date belongs to various disciplines of study. In the primary stage of my career, I have mainly pursued research on numerous themes of linguistics that belong to the subfields of i) general linguistics and comparative linguistics, and ii) second language acquisition. In the second phase of my career, I have mainly pursued research on numerous themes of social, anthropological, and dyadic issues in linguistics, which belong to the subfields of i) Sociolinguistics, ii) Anthropological Linguistics, iii) Language Policy, and iv) Education Policy. I have published the outcomes of this research in the form of articles and books, and the ones worth mentioning are as follows.

The notable works are one book numbered B3 and seven articles numbered A1, A6, A7, B1, C3, D1, and E3. Among these eight works, the book numbered B3 and the articles numbered A6 and A7 chart the linguistic analyses for the grammatical categories of moods, relative clauses, and Nominals in Japanese in the framework of modern linguistics. These three works of mine provide a revisiting of the grammatical categories of moods, relative clauses, and nominals in Japanese. In my works, I have shown that the grammatical categories of Moods, Relative clauses, and nominals are realized in the morphosyntactic structure through the grammatical processes of modalization, relativization, and nominalization, which require theoretical underpinning. I found that the requisite theoretical underpinning of these grammatical categories remained ambiguous, reflecting the shortcomings of traditional Japanese linguistics in the analysis of moods, relative clauses, and nominals. In view of that, I have formulated a theoretical framework to initiate the linguistic analysis of the grammatical categories of moods, relative clauses, and nominals and have reconstructed each of them to fit them into the newly formulated framework.
