It was observed that Chevalior Sivaji film songs reflect the theoretical domain such as (i) equity and social justice and (ii) the practice of virtue in the society. In this research work attention has been made to conceptualize the ethical ideas and compare it with the ethical theories using a novel methodology wherein the ideas contained in the film song are compared with the ethical theory. Few songs with the uncompromising premise of patni (chastity of women) with the four important charateristics of women of Tamil culture i.e. acham, madam, nanam and payirpu that leads to the great concept of chastity practiced by exalting woman like Kannagi has also been dealt with. The ethical ideas that contain in the selection of songs were made out from the selected movies acted by Chevalier Shivaji giving preference to the songs that contain the above unique concept of ethics.

Published 13/08/2018 LINGUSTIC POLICY OF DMK FROM 1949 – 1956 Dr. R.DHANABAL Assistant Professor in History Government Arts College for Women Salem-8. The DMK concentrating on reformative politics in Tamil Nadu during 1949-56. Language strategists are those figures who innovate prudently to promote linguistic interests. As a basic strategy the DMK preached the antiquity and achievements of the distant past of the Tamils. An ethnic group becomes a nationality when it has an image of its collective past and when its members are aware of and responsive to that image. The DMK men used to enter into villages and towns with microphone and amplifiers and create a festive climate by drapery, decoration of red and black party flags, and playing cinema records before they started their sermons. They would tell the people very seriously with all sincerity that the local people were the honourable sons and daughters of those great grand ancestors who lived in affluence and that their ancient rulers were great kings, seamen, conquerors but never intending to rule other people.In a society which believed in untouchability, they went to address the local gathering, they used to dine with the local leaders. In the party, they developed family-like relationships. The leaders were treated as elder brothers. The party men who developed the necessary oratorical talent could exaggerate the prevailing state of affairs. They would shed tears to narrate the sufferings of the people.

  • Two-Stage Bootstrapping for Anaphora Resolution Balaji J, T V Geetha, Ranjani Parthasarathi, Madhan Karky Dept
    Two-Stage Bootstrapping for Anaphora Resolution Balaji J, T V Geetha, Ranjani Parthasarathi, Madhan Karky Dept. of CSE & IST, Anna University, Chennai- 600 025 Abstract: In this paper, we propose a two-stage bootstrapping approach to resolve various anaphora representing persons, places, plurals and events in Tamil text. The existing approaches dealt with only single pronoun type and not all anaphora using common approach. Moreover, most of the approaches concentrate on syntax- based algorithms and semantics to some extent. Instead in our approach, we tackle various types of pronouns using a semi-supervised bootstrapping approach with uniform pattern representation and by exploring the semantic features in resolving anaphors. In order to aid the semantics, we use Universal Networking Language (UNL), a deep semantic representation for resolving various types of pronouns. The two stages of our bootstrapping approach consists of identification of anaphora and its set of referring expressions in stage 1 and identification of correct antecedent of a pronoun in stage 2. In our approach two patterns are defined – one for anaphora and other for set of referring expressions. In addition, we introduce triggering tuples, which can be word based semantics or context based semantics, represented in the pattern of both anaphora and referring expressions so as to resolve the ambiguities during the identification of correct antecedent. The performance of our bootstrapping approach gives better results and proved.

With songs of Kayal becoming more popular by the minute, Vishal Menon talks to composer Imman about his super-hit collaborations with Prabhu Solomon. A week before the release of Kayal , Imman invites us over for a chat at his studio in Virugambakkam. Excerpts: Kayal is your fourth collaboration (after Lee, Mynaa, Kumki ) with Prabhu Solomon. How important is it to sync with a director to compose successful albums? Each time he comes with a script, I’m excited at the opportunity it presents for melodies. It is a pleasure to compose songs you like to listen to yourself. He says he wants songs one can listen to at night. There aren’t many directors who give you that opportunity and I respect how he lays emphasis on the lyrics.
