Its concerns are universal, its people are offlesh and blood. It raises serious questions about the validity of the valuesystems governing our lives increasingly complex world. It is withoutdoubt a trailblazer in post modern Tamil literature.

Language and Society in South Asia
Author: Michael C. Shapiro
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publishe
ISBN: 9788120826076
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
During the past two decades there has been a significant amount of research and publication concerning the sociolinguistics of South Asian languages. Language and Society in South Asia is the first major attempt to assess the impact of this new literature. It exposits the methodological and theoretical assumptions of sociolinguistic descriptions of south Asian languages, and contrasts them with the assumptions of earlier characterizations of these languages. An important feature of this book is its detailed examination of numerous schools of linguistic analysis within which most past descriptive work on South Asian languages has been carried out. This is done in language accessible both to the professional linguist and to non-linguists interested in social aspects of language use in South Asia. Among the topics treated in this book are traditional taxonomies of South Asian languages, South Asia as a linguistic area, social dialectology, bi- and multilingualism in South Asia, pidginization, creolization, and South Asian English, ethnographic semantics, and the ethnography of speaking. The work also contains an extensive bibliography of the scholarly literature pertinent to the study of South Asian languages in their social contexts.
