The Biology of Marine Mammals
Romero, A. 2009. The Biology of Marine Mammals. The Biology of Marine Mammals Aldemaro Romero, Ph.D. Arkansas State University Jonesboro, AR 2009 2 INTRODUCTION Dear students, 3 Chapter 1 Introduction to Marine Mammals 1.1. Overture Humans have always been fascinated with marine mammals. These creatures have been the basis of mythical tales since Antiquity. For centuries naturalists classified them as fish. Today they are symbols of the environmental movement as well as the source of heated controversies: whether we are dealing with the clubbing pub seals in the Arctic or whaling by industrialized nations, marine mammals continue to be a hot issue in science, politics, economics, and ethics. But if we want to better understand these issues, we need to learn more about marine mammal biology. The problem is that, despite increased research efforts, only in the last two decades we have made significant progress in learning about these creatures. And yet, that knowledge is largely limited to a handful of species because they are either relatively easy to observe in nature or because they can be studied in captivity. Still, because of television documentaries, ‘coffee-table’ books, displays in many aquaria around the world, and a growing whale and dolphin watching industry, people believe that they have a certain familiarity with many species of marine mammals (for more on the relationship between humans and marine mammals such as whales, see Ellis 1991, Forestell 2002). As late as 2002, a new species of beaked whale was being reported (Delbout et al. 2002), in 2003 a new species of baleen whale was described (Wada et al.

Linguistic Convergence and Divergence in Telugu-Urdu Contact
International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS), 2014, Vol 1, No.5, 257-261. 257 Available online at http://www.ijims.com ISSN: 2348 – 0343 Linguistic Convergence and Divergence in Telugu-Urdu Contact Situation: A Study with Special Reference to Telangana Dialect Venkanna Ithagani The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India. Abstract Contact between two or more languages as well as cultures in India is a common phenomenon. In such contexts, it is possible that the elements can be transferred from one language to another. The contact induced changes can be measured at all levels of a language and the results will be far more visible even when the languages involved belong to genetically homogeneous families. Convergence and divergence, two opposite directions of language change, describe the increase and decrease in similarity between languages (cf.Auer at al. 2005:1).The present study attempts to answer a set of questions concerning the internal mechanisms of a language contact situation and its effects, i.e. linguistic convergence and divergence. It focuses on the linguistic convergence of Telangana, a dialect of Telugu spoken in Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh to Urdu spoken in Telangana region, and at the same time its divergence from standard variety of Telugu. This is an interesting phenomenon to study that how a dialect coming in contact with another language moves closer to it and the same dialect move further away from its standard form. Key words: Convergence, Divergence, Language change and Standard variety. Introduction Telangana region was ruled over by Moguls and Nizams, whose official languages were Persian and Urdu.
