  • Istanbul: Memories and the City Genre: Memoir
    www.galaxyimrj.com Galaxy: An International Multidisciplinary Research Journal ISSN: 2278-9529 Title of the Book: - Istanbul: Memories and the City Genre: Memoir. Author: Orhan Pamuk. Paperback: 400 pages. Publisher: Vintage; Reprint edition (11 July 2006). Language: English. Reviewed By: Syed Moniza Nizam Shah Research Scholar Department of English University of Kashmir Turkey’s only Nobel Prize laureate (till date) Orhan Pamuk is undoubtedly one of the most significant and a widely debated novelist of the contemporary world literature. Seldom does a novelist in his fifties merit and receive the kind of critical attention that has come to Orhan Pamuk. He is the bestselling novelist in contemporary Turkey. His novels have been studied meticulously by critics such as Maureen Freely, MehnazM.Afridi, ErdağGöknar, Kader Konuk, SibelErol et al. Pamuk was born in a Muslim family in Nistantasi, a highly Westernized district in Istanbul. He was educated at Roberts College, the elite, secular American high school in Istanbul, a city which bifurcates or connects Asia and Europe. Presently, he is a professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, where he teaches comparative literature and writing. His upbringing and schooling in a highly secularized Istanbul made him a typical Istanbul like man who is torn between the traditional values of the city (century’s old Ottoman culture) and Kemalist Cultural ideology/Kemalism. Pamuk is deeply attached to his city—Istanbul, where he was born and breaded and continues to live in. Whether Pamuk is writing about the contemporary Turkey as in The Museum of Innocence or historical times as in My Name is Red, the city of Istanbul has almost been the main character/setting in his novels.

  • Linguistic Practices in Cyprus and the Emergence of Cypriot Standard Greek*
    San Diego Linguistic Papers 2 (2006) 1-24 LINGUISTIC PRACTICES IN CYPRUS AND THE EMERGENCE OF CYPRIOT STANDARD GREEK* Amalia Arvaniti University of California, San Diego ----------------------------------------------- In Cyprus today systematic changes affecting all levels of linguistic analysis are observed in the use of Standard Greek, giving rise to a distinct linguistic variety which can be called Cypriot Standard Greek. The changes can be attributed to the influence of English and Cypriot Greek (the local linguistic variety), and to the increasing use of the Standard in semi-formal occasions. Equally important is the reluctance to recognize the diglossic situation on the island (in which Standard Greek is the H variety and Cypriot Greek the L), for political and ideological reasons. This in turn means that the attention of the Cypriot speakers is not drawn to the differences between Standard Greek as spoken in Greece and their usage of it; thus the differences become gradually consolidated, while the users remain unaware of them. ----------------------------------------------- 1 Introduction The past two decades have seen a proliferation of scholarly work on the linguistic situation in Cyprus. This body of work is concerned with several topics, such as the speakers’ awareness of the linguistic varieties spoken on the island (e.g., Karyolemou & * This paper is a companion to Arvaniti (this volume b). Although the papers compliment each other, they are written in such a way that each can be read independently of the other; for this reason, some introductory sections (e.g. the historical background) show a degree of overlap. The bulk of the data in this article was gathered in Cyprus from 1996 to 2001, with additional data collected since then using a variety of web resources.
