Diachrony of Ergative Future
• THE EVOLUTION OF THE TENSE-ASPECT SYSTEM IN HINDI/URDU: THE STATUS OF THE ERGATIVE ALGNMENT Annie Montaut INALCO, Paris Proceedings of the LFG06 Conference Universität Konstanz Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King (Editors) 2006 CSLI Publications http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/ Abstract The paper deals with the diachrony of the past and perfect system in Indo-Aryan with special reference to Hindi/Urdu. Starting from the acknowledgement of ergativity as a typologically atypical feature among the family of Indo-European languages and as specific to the Western group of Indo-Aryan dialects, I first show that such an evolution has been central to the Romance languages too and that non ergative Indo-Aryan languages have not ignored the structure but at a certain point went further along the same historical logic as have Roman languages. I will then propose an analysis of the structure as a predication of localization similar to other stative predications (mainly with “dative” subjects) in Indo-Aryan, supporting this claim by an attempt of etymologic inquiry into the markers for “ergative” case in Indo- Aryan. Introduction When George Grierson, in the full rise of language classification at the turn of the last century, 1 classified the languages of India, he defined for Indo-Aryan an inner circle supposedly closer to the original Aryan stock, characterized by the lack of conjugation in the past. This inner circle included Hindi/Urdu and Eastern Panjabi, which indeed exhibit no personal endings in the definite past, but only gender-number agreement, therefore pertaining more to the adjectival/nominal class for their morphology (calâ, go-MSG “went”, kiyâ, do- MSG “did”, bola, speak-MSG “spoke”). -

Mhaiskar Assistant Professor Department of Linguistics, Deccan Collage Post Graduate and Research Institute, Yerwada Pune Abstract Language contact studies the multilingualism and bilingualism in particular language society. There are two division of vidarbha, Nagpur (eastern) and Amaravati (western). It occupied 21.3% of area of the state of Maharashtra. This Area is connected to Hindi speaking states, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. When speakers of different languages interact closely, naturally their languages influence each other. There is a close interaction between the speakers of Hindi and local Marathi and they are influencing each other’s languages. A majority of Vidarbhians speak Varhadi, a dialect of Marathi. The present paper aims to look into the phonological nature of Marathi-Hindi contact in eastern Vidarbha. Standard Marathi is used as a medium of instruction for education and Hindi is used for informal communication in this area. This situation creates phonological variation in Marathi for instance: the standard Marathi ‘c’ is pronounced like Hindi ‘þ’. Eg. Marathi Local Variety Hindi pac paþ panþ ‘five’ cor þor þor ‘thief’ Thus, this paper will be an attempt to examine the phonological changes occurs due to influence of Hindi.

Language and Literature
1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society. -

Erik Cambria Dipankar Das Sivaji Bandyopadhyay Antonio Feraco Editors a Practical Guide to Sentiment Analysis Socio-Affective Computing
Socio-Affective Computing 5 Erik Cambria Dipankar Das Sivaji Bandyopadhyay Antonio Feraco Editors A Practical Guide to Sentiment Analysis Socio-Affective Computing Volume 5 Series Editor Amir Hussain, University of Stirling, Stirling, UK Co-Editor Erik Cambria, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore This exciting Book Series aims to publish state-of-the-art research on socially intelligent, affective and multimodal human-machine interaction and systems. It will emphasize the role of affect in social interactions and the humanistic side of affective computing by promoting publications at the cross-roads between engineering and human sciences (including biological, social and cultural aspects of human life). Three broad domains of social and affective computing will be covered by the book series: (1) social computing, (2) affective computing, and (3) interplay of the first two domains (for example, augmenting social interaction through affective computing). Examples of the first domain will include but not limited to: all types of social interactions that contribute to the meaning, interest and richness of our daily life, for example, information produced by a group of people used to provide or enhance the functioning of a system. Examples of the second domain will include, but not limited to: computational and psychological models of emotions, bodily manifestations of affect (facial expressions, posture, behavior, physiology), and affective interfaces and applications (dialogue systems, games, learning etc.). This series will publish
