INTRODUCTION 1. The language. The Bengali language is spoken by upwards of seventy- millions of people in the eastern part of the Indian sub- continent; it is a recognized language in both the Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of India. Bengali is an Indo-European language, andtherefore of the same linguistic lineageas English and the other Euro- pean languages, though of a different branch of the family. The branch of the family to which Bengalibelongs is called Indo-Iranian; its sub-branch is called Indic. In the Indic family, among the modern languages (of whichthe direct an- cestor is a form of Sanskrit)are Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Sindhi, Assamese, Oriya, Panjabi, Nepali, Sinha- lese, and Kashmiri. These languages are closely related to one another as are, for example, Italian and Spanish of the European Romance branch of the Indo-European family. Other languages of India, such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, are of an entirely different language family (Dra- vidian). The immediate origins of the Bengali languageare some- what obscure,'The chances are that it derives directly from an Eastern variety Of an Indic language closely related to Sanskrit, perhaps a "dialectical" variety of that language. In any case, in the stages of Indic language development known as Prakrit and Apabhramsa, it seems clear that in the eastern areas of the Indian sub-continent-- those areas now occupied by the Indian states of Bengal, Assam,Orissa, the eastern part of Bihar, and the Pakistaniprovince of East Bengal-- divergent forms of languagewere developing. 1. For an extensive study of its history,see S.K. Chatterji, Origin and Development of the BengaliLanguage, Calcutta Uni- versity, 2 vol., 1925v27. Zrattrl..7,1111r.r.f.rr.rf.X.C.11.1233,5,tiSr-2V. Theearlies11earliestt work in Bengali which has been so far discovered is that of the so-called ciurya-padas, late Buddhist religious verses.2Some scholars date these songs as early as the 8th century, although the 10th century would probably bemore ac- curate. Interestingly, these songs have been claimed by the Assamese to be in Old Assamese, by the speakers of Oriya tobe Old Oriya,by the speakers of Hindi to be Maithili, and by the Bengalis to he Old Bengali. Bengali has a very long and a very rich literary tradi- tion. The high points of Bengali literature have beenper- haps in the periods of the 14th through the 17th centuries, when the great Vainava religious literature in the form of lyrics, biographies, and theological treatises was written, and in the 19th and 20th centuries, when Bengali literature underwent a renaissance under the impact of Western literary forms. This was the period in connection with which such names as Rabindranath Tagore and Bankim-candra Chatterji are heard. That Bengali literature has had t'Bse two peaks does not mean that between them things were stagnant. On the con- trary, in other periods much literature of interest and often of outstanding quality was being produced: for example, the Capg-mangalof Mukundarim and the Vidy&-sundarof Bhgrat- candra. The Muslim rulers of Bengal, who held sway from the beginning of the 13th century until their defeat by the Bri- tish in 1757, were ardent patrons of Bengali literature. Under their patronage both Hindu and Muslim writers flour- ished. 3 2. The arya-padaswere discovered in a MS in Nepal by M.M. Haraprasad Shastlri. They have been published several times in Bengali, and some of them translated into English (Sukumar Sen, Old Bengali Texts--in Indian Linguistics, Calcutta, 1948) and into French (M. Shahidullah, Leschants Adrien- Maisoneuve, Paris, 1928). 3.

Type of The language which you are about tobegin learning is a modified form of the type of Bengali spokenin and around Dacca, the capital city of EastPakistan. There isas yet no standard language spoken all overEast Pakistan, in the way in which"standard colloquial Bengali" is spoken and un- derstood by educated speakers throughout WestBengal and to some extent throughout the wholeBengali-speaking area. You will find that in phonology, morphology, andlexicon primarily, this modified Dacca speech differs in some cases fairly radically from the type of Bengali presentedin An Introduction to BenaaliPart I. It is because of these dif- ferences, which must be recognized by the increasingnumbers of students and others concerning themselvesparticularly with East Pakistan, that these special lessonshave been designed. The term "modified form" was used above. This does not mean that the language which youwill learn in these lessons is an artificial language. It does mean that"pure" Dacca dialect, which is as divergent a dialect asthat of Birbhum or that of Sylhet from thestandard language, will not be as useful to the majority of foreigners in EastPakistan as a modified form of it. For pure dialect forms will be useful only in the geographically -- and, it is possibleto add, social -- areas in which the dialect is spoken;speech which incorporates more standard forms with dialect featureswhich are standard or becoming so, willbe understood and used by educated Pakistanis throughout East Pakistan. The fact that the dialect here described is modified is indicated by the fact that, as will be seen inthe prac- tice sentences, there is a certain amount ofstylistic choice possible. For instance, the standard Bengali post-position /goDgeol will sound well to the Dacca dialect speaker in some environments, while the more purely dialectal form/loge/ wil: "seem to be more appropriate" in others. The occurences of these variations are entirely unpredictable, andusually, in the practice sentences, both will be given. err , iv 3. The materials. a. Aims. This work is An Introduction to the Dacca Dialect. Al- though we will not neglect the written language-- indeed, part of our purpose is to teachyou to read the language well -- it has seemed to us sound practice both practically and pedagogically to introduce you to the spokenlanguage first. Before we begin to teach you the writtenlanguage, we want you to be able to carry on simple but reasonably fluentcon- versation in Bengali. The reasons for our putting the spoken language first are three. First, it is assumed thatyou will be using the spoken language in the future, thatyou will at some time be in East Pakistan. Secondly, the Bengali writing system is quite as deviant from the pronunciation of the language as is the English one; to learn to spell Bengali words in Bengali script is not the most elementary, and there- fore not the first, task.

I can’t possibly acknowledge everyone who has contributed to the completion of this project, but there are nevertheless many people I would like to mention. First of all, I give my thanks to my advisor and chair, Marianne Mithun. Her patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement helped me make it through graduate school, and her advice on matters professional, personal, and scholarly was invaluable in my development as a researcher. Very special thanks also go to Andy Pawley. He was the one who suggested these languages as a possible research topic all the way back in 2005, and he has been guiding me through the world of Papuan historical linguistics ever since. The other members of my committee, Bernard Comrie and Carol Genetti, have also provided steady, helpful feedback to me over the years. I have learned more and grown more as a result of the advice and supervision of these scholars than I can possibly express. I am also grateful to the various other linguists who have helped me along the way with guidance or with engaging conversations about my work, including Mark Donohue, Malcolm Ross, Ger Reesink, Sandy Thompson, Nick Evans, Lindsay Whaley, Tim Pulju, René van den Berg, Alex François, Joseph Brooks, Brad McDonnell, Bill Palmer, Edgar Suter, Tim Usher, Harold Koch, and Lourens de Vries.

Applications of myth are reviewed in order to present a basic general typology of usages: from political, scholarly, ritual, and medical applications, through incorporation in images, to linguistic and literary exploitations. In its range of function and use, Egyptian myth is similar to that of other civilizations, except that written narratives appear to have developed relatively late. The many attested forms and uses underscore its flexibility, which has entailed many interpretations starting with assessments of the Osiris myth reported by Plutarch (2nd century AD). Myths conceptualize, describe, explain, and control the world, and they were adapted to an ever-changing reality. Fonctions et usages du mythe égyptien Cet article discute les fonctions et les usages du mythe en Égypte ancienne dans une perspective comparatiste et passe en revue ses applications, afin de proposer une typologie générale de ses usages – applications politiques, érudites, rituelles et médicales, incorporation dans des images, exploitation linguistique et littéraire.

  • Using 'North Wind and the Sun' Texts to Sample Phoneme Inventories
    Blowing in the wind: Using ‘North Wind and the Sun’ texts to sample phoneme inventories Louise Baird ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Nicholas Evans ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Simon J. Greenhill ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University & Department of Linguistic and Cultural Evolution, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History [email protected] Language documentation faces a persistent and pervasive problem: How much material is enough to represent a language fully? How much text would we need to sample the full phoneme inventory of a language? In the phonetic/phonemic domain, what proportion of the phoneme inventory can we expect to sample in a text of a given length? Answering these questions in a quantifiable way is tricky, but asking them is necessary. The cumulative col- lection of Illustrative Texts published in the Illustration series in this journal over more than four decades (mostly renditions of the ‘North Wind and the Sun’) gives us an ideal dataset for pursuing these questions. Here we investigate a tractable subset of the above questions, namely: What proportion of a language’s phoneme inventory do these texts enable us to recover, in the minimal sense of having at least one allophone of each phoneme? We find that, even with this low bar, only three languages (Modern Greek, Shipibo and the Treger dialect of Breton) attest all phonemes in these texts.

  • Why Dots and Dashes Matter: Writing Bengali in Roman Script Colonial Contexts, of Non-Roman Scripts Generally, Except for Greek
    Carmen Brandt Why Dots and Dashes Matter Writing Bengali in Roman Script A friend recently sent me a photo of an Indian restaurant called “Vagina Tandoori” and asked for my ‘official statement’ as a scholar of South Asian studies. After we had had a good laugh – as many other Internet users had before us – I was not shy of providing an answer, as I explained the potential reason behind this awkward name: the restaurant owners could be of Bengali origin and might have transcribed the Bengali term ভািগনা/bhāginā1 “nephew”2, the way they thought it should be written in Roman script. I have come across this transcription several times in Bangladesh. Beyond that, a male colleague of mine regularly gets emails from his “vagina”, i.e. from a friend in Bangla- desh who is much younger to him and refers to himself as his “nephew”. Even though the awkward restaurant name turned out to be a hoax,3 the writing of South Asian lan- guages – especially Bengali – in Roman script is, nonetheless, often a challenge. Hence, this essay reflects on these challenges, discusses in general why South Asian languages are often written in Roman script, and which options might be best to do so. The Roman Script – a Symbol of Colonial Conquest As I have already discussed in detail (Brandt 2020), in South Asia, the Roman script is often perceived as a symbol of foreign domination in past and present. Its 1 All Bengali words are transliterated according to the rules in Table 4 below. 2 That means the son of one’s sister or the son of one’s husband’s sister.

  • An Analysis of Contrasts Between English and Bengali Vowel Phonemes
    Journal of Education and Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1, (June) ISSN 2289-9855 2019 AN ANALYSIS OF CONTRASTS BETWEEN ENGLISH AND BENGALI VOWEL PHONEMES Syed Mazharul Islam ABSTRACT Both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the English vowel system mark it as distinct from many other vowel systems including that of the Bengali language. With respect to the English pure vowels or monophthongs, tongue height, tongue position and lip rounding are the qualitative features which make English distinctive. The quantitative aspect of the English vowels or vowel length is another feature which makes some Bengali vowels different from their English equivalents the fact being that vowel length in Bengali, though it theoretically exists, is not important in actual pronunciation of Bengali. English diphthongs, or the gliding vowels, on the other hand, have the unique feature that between the constituent vowels, the first vowel component is longer than the second. This paper examines these contrasts underpinned by the CAH (Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis) the proponents of which believe that through contrastive analysis of the L1 and the L2 being learnt, difficulties in the latter’s acquisition can be predicted and materials should be based on the anticipated difficulties. The hypothesis also lends itself to the assumption that degrees of differences correspond to the varying levels of difficulty. This paper adds that contrastive analysis also enhances L2 awareness among learners, help them unlearn L1 habits and aids in the automation and creative use of all aspects of the L2 including phonology. The analysis of the sounds in question has made some interesting discoveries hitherto unknown and unobserved.
