Ramamoorthy, Ph.D. Linguistic Purism and Language Planning in a Multilingual Context: Tamil in Pondicherry Preface Tamil is a dynamic living language with ancient heritage and moorings. Continuously spoken and written for over 2000 years, Tamil offers many interesting dimensions for us to investigate. Arguments in favor of some form of linguistic purism to maintain the distinctive characteristic of Tamil have their roots in an ancient grammar, possibly written two-thousand years ago. That the same tendency comes up with great vigor in modern times is amazing, and deserves a deep study in conjunction with sociological, political, cultural and even economic factors. In this monograph I undertake this study of linguistic purism in a multilingual context, drawing materials from the Union Territory of Pondicherry, where the majority of the people speak Tamil as their first language. Pondicherry was a colony of the French, and had been ceded to the Indian Union by the French in 1962. This Union Territory has three enclaves: the Tamil enclave surrounded by Tamilnadu, a Malayalam enclave surrounded by Kerala, where Malayalam is the dominant language, and a Telugu enclave surrounded by Andhra Pradesh, where Telugu is the dominant language. In addition, because of Aurobindo cultus, a good number of Bengalis find their residence in Pondicherry. In addition, since joining the Indian Union, a good number of the speakers of the Indo-Aryan family of languages have arrived to pursue their business and other interests. Again, modern New Age Movement followers from Europe and America make Pondicherry their destination for spiritual and corporate living in Auroville. Language planning becomes, then, very complex. Added to this mix is the demand and insistence on pursuing linguistic purism in so far as Tamil is concerned. When Hindi and other Indian languages seek their renewal and enrichment deleting commonly used Urdu-Persian- Arabic words and constructions, and drawing heavily from Sanskrit sources, Tamil, another classical language of India, with continuity as its important distinguishing mark, seeks to strengthen and enlarge its domains of use drawing from its own ancient sources, etc. This book is part of my continuing research interests relating to sociological, political and linguistic processes in Indian languages. I do hope that the readers will find this book interesting and useful to understand the linguistic undercurrents in India. My grateful thanks are due to the editors of Language in India www.languageinindia.com, who have kindly provided me with this opportunity to publish my thoughts and concerns. L.

Ramamoorthy, Ph.D. Linguistic Purism and Language Planning in a Multilingual Context: Tamil in Pondicherry Chapter 1 A Study of Language Use in Pondicherry Introduction Multilingualism in India is seen as a normal and natural phenomenon. The existence and use of multilingualism is recorded in ancient Sanskrit and Tamil texts, and throughout the recorded history. In modern times, multilingualism has been closely associated with political activities as well. Multilingualism in modern Indian society has received pointed attention in many research studies, for example, by Pandit (1972) Southworth and Apte (1974), Kachru (1978), Srivastava (1980), Shapiro and Sachiffiman (1981), Pattanayak (1981), Khjubchandani (1983) and Annamalai (1986).

  • “Lost in Translation”: a Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature
    Karunakaran / Lost in Translation “Lost in Translation”: A Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature Shamila Karunakaran Abstract This paper provides an overview of the history of Sri Lankan literature from the ancient texts of the precolonial era to the English translations of postcolonial literature in the modern era. Sri Lanka’s book history is a cultural record of texts that contains “cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (Chodorow, 2006); however, Tamil language works are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to Sri Lankan culture and are “lost in translation” when conveyed in English. Keywords book history, translation iJournal - Journal Vol. 4 No. 1, Fall 2018 22 Karunakaran / Lost in Translation INTRODUCTION The phrase “lost in translation” refers to when the translation of a word or phrase does not convey its true or complete meaning due to various factors. This is a common problem when translating non-Western texts for North American and British readership, especially those written in non-Roman scripts. Literature and texts are tangible symbols, containing signifed cultural meaning, and they represent varying aspects of an existing international ethnic, social, or linguistic culture or group. Chodorow (2006) likens it to a cultural record of sorts, which he defnes as an object that “contains cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (pg. 373). In particular, those written in South Asian indigenous languages such as Tamil, Sanskrit, Urdu, Sinhalese are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to specifc culture[s] and cannot be properly conveyed in English translations.

  • Weakening Processes in the Optimality Framework K.G.Vijayakrishnan1 0
    1 Weakening Processes in the Optimality Framework K.G.Vijayakrishnan1 0. Introduction Processes of weakening may be subsumed under two heads namely, the loss of marked feature specifications such as voicing, aspiration, place specification or even the loss of an entire segment, and lenition, exemplifying processes such as voicing, spirantization and sonorization. This paper is an attempt at an analysis of both types of consonantal weakening in the framework of Optimality Theory (henceforth OT). In section 1 we take up the phenomenon of weakening as the loss of feature specification and propose an analysis in terms of prosodic alignment and featural markedness. Section 2 examines lenition in Tamil and proposes a universal constraint ‘Harmonic Sonorancy’ which explains the process as an assimilatory tendency to increase the sonority of consonants in the neighbourhood of sonorants. 1. Weakening as loss of marked feature specification The loss of marked feature specification is the converse of licensing of marked feature specification in prosodically strong positions. Extending the approach to licensing in Smolensky (1995) and Zoll (1998), we show that the distribution of marked feature specification can be accounted for in terms of alignment to prosodic categories. The loss of marked feature specification is widely attested in the following prosodically weak positions. (1) Loss of Marked Feature Specification in Prosodically Weak Positions a) syllable coda well-known examples coda devoicing in German, Dutch, Polish, Catalan lesser known example coda deaspiration in standard colloquial Bangla Standard colloquial Bangla i. lab ~ labher ‘profit ~ genetive’ ii. ghOr‘house’ iii. ciæhi ‘letter’ b) onset of non-head syllables well-known example lack of aspiration of voiceless stops in English lesser known examples lack of aspiration in non-initial stops in the Adilabad dialect of Gondi (Subrahmanian 1968), the Hooghli dialect of Bangla (Ghosh 1995); in both cases aspiration is distinctive in voiceless and voiced stops.

These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.

It was useful for doing computations and accounts, and for purposes of conversation because at that time Malacca was crowded with Indian merchants. Many were the men who had become rich by trading in Malacca, so much so that the names of Tamil traders had become famous.
