The aim of the article is to overview the methods of language planning - a subdiscipline of Applied Socio-linguistics which is concerned with the deliberate manipulation of language in the interests of a perceived social good. Einar Haugen's pioneering work into the way that is effected by modern governments and others provides a framework by which this procedure may be studied. One possible object for analysis by means of this framework is Sanskrit, a language codified in a linguistically sophisticated manner over two thousand years ago by Panini. Such an analysis shows that Sanskrit indeed meets the normal criteria for being considered a planned language and may be profitably studied following this approach. Such an examination permits an observation of the long-term effects of language planning in the context of a linguistic environment in which naturally evolving languages are used side-by-side with the planned language and there are significant interactions. Such explorations can clarify the potential effects of being more or less rigidly planned on the languages resulting from modern language planning projects.

Art and literature relate to emotions and affections in the experience of readers. However, literary studies in general exclude emotion from their analysis and instead focus on the propositional content of literature. It seems that there is no reliable way of grasping them. The current cognitive and neuroscience research shows that emotions play apart in cognitive processes. Moreover, emotion is not seen as the opposite of thought. On the contrary, it is bound up with cognition. The role of emotion in literary reading has become an increasingly important topic in cognitive literary studies. Especially Reuven Tsur, Keith Oatley, Patrik Colm Hogan, Jenefer Robinson and Michael Burke have presented theories of emotional engagement with literature. The traditional Sanskrit literary studies with their focus on the emotional effect of literature have informed the current affective theories. The paper analyses and evaluates the significance of Sanskrit literary theory to the current debate on emotional engagement with literature. It argues that the fact about the converging development of both literary-critical traditions defies a two wide notion of cultural difference and creates the possibility of a transcultural approach to literature.
