    Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

    Malgudi”: the Leading Hero of R

    Volume : 2 | Issue : 9 | Sept 2013 • ISSN No 2277 - 8160 Research Paper Literature “Malgudi”: the Leading Hero of R. K. Narayan’s Fiction Jindagiben Ph.D. Student, Pacific University, Udaipur, Rajsthan (India) Krushnakant Dave ABSTRACT Malgudi is an imaginative locale created by Rashipuram Krishnaswamy Narayan in his novels and short stories. It forms the setting for most of Narayan’s works. The attempt in this Research Paper is made to show, how “Malgudi”, a small town has become a perfect setting for R. K. Narayan’s fiction. It is a landscape, a locale, imaginative yet alive. It represents India in a subtle, minute, microscopic form. In fact, it is a genuine hero of all his literary works. Narayan has successfully portrayed Malgudi as a microcosm of our country. KEYWORDS: Fictional Locale, Indian Microcosm, Leading Character INTRODUCTION: human existence.”(Green Graham) R. K. Narayan (Rashipuram Krishnaswamy Narayan, 1906-2001) belongs to the age of Indian Freedom Struggle of 20th century.The three bright William Walsh calls Malgudi an imaginative version of Narayan’s be- stars, luminaries of Indian English literature, Mulk Raj Anand, R. K. loved Mysore, and it is as familiar to his readers as their own suburbs, Narayan and Raja Rao started writing their fiction, largely in this period and infinitely more engaging. For Iyenger, it is Narayan’s ‘Caster Bridge’ of great ferment and excitement. Some of their early works truly reflect whose inhabitants are essentially human, have their kinship with all the conditions and the problems that characterize the early decades humanity and thus Malgudi is everywhere.

K. Narayan certainly leads the South-Asian readers to the home and bosom of his own country people. It sparks a sense of Indianness provided with his own taste, flavour and recognition of a rich cultural inheritance. Narayan’s presentation of Indian ways of life gets a meticulous and painstaking regard for verisimilitude. His wonderful creation, The Financial Expert, is not an exception being a veritable goldmine for anyone interested in India and its culture. At the heart of the novel is the landscape of India, the customs, conventions and lores that are the quintessence of Indianness. Building up a new nation parallels with searching and adjusting a new identity of an Indian. Narayan’s protagonist, in the book, is forced to transcend the age-old customs and traditions of the society and embrace his new identity which he cannot do without echoing his own world.

Issue.1., 2017 (Jan-Mar.) NOVELTY IN SIMPLICITY: R.K. NARAYAN’S MALGUDI DAYS SHWETA CHAUDHARY Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT R. K Narayan stands as one of an unmatchable pillar of Indians writing in english along with Raja Rao and Mulk Raj Anand. His contribution is immense and cannot be neglected. While Mulk Raj Anand’s novels fell in the domain of societal issues Narayan’s novels surprised through their mundane portrayal. There was an essence of freshness even in his mundane exemplification. He is best known for his fictional town Malgudi where he sat the whole universe of his imagination. His characters never moved out of Malgudi. Their daily chores were sat in Malgudi itself. His town is set in south India. Graham Greene held a major role in success of Narayan’s writings. He not only recommended Narayan’s swami and friends to a publisher but also asked the latter to shorten his name in order to be more familiar with English speaking audience. This paper seeks to analyze novelty in simplicity of Narayan’s narration of Malgudi Days. There is a mark of serene beautification in his narration of human nature. Unlike Shakespeare he never dwelled on malignity, gloom, anger, revenge, jealousy of human nature. Certain warmth always swam through his characters which took residence into reader’s heart.

We call this world a „global village‟ and each one of us a „global citizen‟. In spite of this, a cursory observation would reveal the fact that people, either as individuals or as groups, have retained their „ethnic‟ character. This probably can be attributed to people‟s craving for individuality and individual identity or as a revolt against the forces of technology that is trying to create a „homogenized‟ world. Undoubtedly, „ethnicity‟ gives people a sense of pride and recognition. Sociologists also agree that it is this ethnic character of communities that makes the world an interesting place to live in. Ethnicity has been understood as “a social construct that indicates identification with a particular group which is often descended from common ancestors. Members of the group share common cultural traits such as language, religion, customs, and beliefs and are an identifiable minority within the larger nation state.(Eriksen 14)It is in this context, that the present study of aspects of ethnicity in the select novels of R K Narayan becomes relevant.
