Hence, the present study focusses on comparing the phonological processes across urban and rural in the Malayalam speaking children of India. Thirty typically developing children, age ranging from 3-4 years participated in the study. The speech sample (minimum 50 utterances) was recorded from each child in a quiet room at home or school environment and recorded using PRAAT software. The result of the present study was that rural children exhibit more phonological processes than urban group. Key words: Phonological processes, Malayalam language. Introduction Language refers to a rule based system of symbolic communication involving a set of small unit (syllables or words) that can be combined to yield an infinite number of larger language forms (Hoff & Naigles,2002). To learn the art of communication, using a language, is one of the early challenges that children face. This task requires a mastery of four types of skills namely, Syntax (Syntax structure), semantics (word and contextual meaning), pragmatics (language used) and phonology (speech sounds and sequencing). All these skills are obviously interrelated and an inadequacy in either of these skills may lead to a communicative difficulty. Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:5 May 2015 Anitha Simon, Shruthi L., Rajalekshmi S., Jenny Mevis D’Souza and Satish Kumaraswamy Phonological Processes in Malayalam Speaking 3-4 Year Old Urban and Rural Children 1 Phonology is the study of sound structures in language, which is different from the study of sentence structures (syntax), word structures (morphology), or how languages change over time (historical linguistics). But this is insufficient. An important feature of the structure of a sentence is how it is pronounced--its sound structure. The pronunciation of a given word is also a fundamental part of the structure of a word. And certainly the principles of pronunciation in a language are subject to change over time. So phonology has a relation to numerous domains of linguistics. Various classification systems of phonologic processes have been devised but they share some common features (Hodson, 1980; Ingram, 1981; Khan, 1985). Phonological Processes can be broadly described on the basis of occurrence of the Phonological Processes present during the production of consonants and vowels. According to Grunwell (1985), phonological processes can be characterized into three major categories: 1. Syllable Structure Processes 2. Substitution Processes 3. Assimilation Processes Abundant research in western languages focuses on phonological development and various processes seen in developing children. Also several Indian studies focused on the similar area in a variety of Indian Languages like Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam (Bharathy, 2001; Ramadevi & Prema 2002; Rahul, 2006). However, most of the Indian population resides not in urban areas, but in rural areas with living conditions and facilities being very much different from the urban areas. Despite of this, only a limited amount of research studies focuses on children residing in these rural areas of India. The knowledge of phonological development has significant value in the clinical population to determine whether a child is phonologically disordered and needs intervention. However, a limited understanding of phonological development and a scarcity of data to evaluate difference between the language conditions seen in urban and rural children might lead to a risk Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:5 May 2015 Anitha Simon, Shruthi L., Rajalekshmi S., Jenny Mevis D’Souza and Satish Kumaraswamy Phonological Processes in Malayalam Speaking 3-4 Year Old Urban and Rural Children 2 of misdiagnosis.

The data were also eross-cheeked for patterns of isomorphy/polysemy, to see ifwe can leam anything about the development ofthe forms we da find in the languages. The results ofthe survey indicate that although a11 Tibeto-Bunnan languages have developed some sort of relation marking, none of the markers ean be reconstrueted to the oldest stage of the family. Looking at the patterns of isomorphy or polysemy, we find there are regularities to the patterns we find, and on the basis of these regularities we can make assurne that the path of development most probably followed the markedness/prototypicality clines: the locative and ablative use would have arose first and then were extended to the more abstract cases.

  • Origin and Development of the Meitei Language
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Modern Education (IJMRME) ISSN (Online): 2454 - 6119 (www.rdmodernresearch.org) Volume II, Issue I, 2016 ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEITEI LANGUAGE Khongbantabam Naobi Devi Ph.D Scholar, Department of English, Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai, Tamilnadu Abstract: Meitei language is an Indo-Aryan language. The Indo- Aryans came to Manipur and settled in the Manipur from the 4th century B.C. onwards. The noted historian and scholar R.K. Jhalajit Singh present his views on the topic to Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, the great scholar and experts on language. He expressed as Meitei language may not belong to the Kuki- Chin sub-group of the Tibeto-Burman branch; but belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family of language. All the language that belongs to the Tibeto-Burman, a sub-branch of the Sino- Tibetan family of languages, is mono- syllabic. The Meiteis language is not a monosyllabic language; it is a polysyllabic language. In meiteis language, majority of words have more than one syllable. A language should be classified because of grammar. This is the universal principle accepted on all. A language cannot be classified according to vocabulary. If we begin to classify a language according to its vocabulary, the results will be incorrect. The first settlers of the Indo-Aryans in Manipur spoke Sanskrit. Later settlers spoke Prakrit. When Prakrit was removed as spoken language, they spoke Apabhransha.. The combination of Apabhransha and Mongoloid languages gave birth to the Manipuri language by about 1074 A.D. In the olden days of the Meitei language, which was formed by the interaction of Apabhransha and Mongoloid languages, the most important words were taken from Sanskrit.

  • Languages and Peoples of the Eastern Himalayan Region (LPEHR)
    Languages and Peoples of the Eastern Himalayan Region (LPEHR) Deictic motion in Hakhun Tangsa Krishna Boro Gauhati University ABSTRACT This paper provides a detailed description of how deictic motion events are encoded in a Tangsa variety called Hakhun, spoken in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in India, and in Sagaing Region in Myanmar. Deictic motion events in Hakhun are encoded by a set of two motion verbs, their serial or versatile verb counterparts, and a set of two ventive particles. Impersonal deictic motion events are encoded by the motion verbs alone, which orient the motion with reference to a center of interest. Motion events with an SAP figure or ground are simultaneously encoded by the motion verbs and ventive particles. These motion events evoke two frames of reference: a home base and the speech-act location. The motion verbs anchor the motion with reference to the home base of the figure, and the ventives (or their absence) anchor the motion with reference to the location of the speaker, the addressee, or the speech-act. When the motion verbs are concatenated with other verbs, they specify motion associated with the action denoted by the other verb(s). KEYWORDS Hakhun, Tibeto-Burman, deictic motion, motion verbs, ventive This is a contribution from Himalayan Linguistics Vol 19(2) Languages and Peoples of the Eastern Himalayan Region: 9 29.

They point to the particular historical trajectory of interaction of state-making leaders and other social forces, and the divergent authority structure that took shape, as underpinning this difference. In Manipur, where social forces retained their authority, the state’s autonomy was compromised. This affected its capacity, including that to resolve group conflicts. Here powerful social forces politicized their narrow identities to capture state power, leading to competitive mobilisation and conflicts.
