Full textAbstract:
The present essay examines two moments from the evolution of the modern Malayalam novel, in relation to the reception of two classics in world literature, namely Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables translated into Malayalam between 1925 and 1927 and García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude translated in 1984. The translation of Hugo’s novel energized the scene of Malayalam fiction by infusing new modes of representation and widening the intellectual horizons of writers in general, and novelists in particular. The echoes of Les Misérables could be heard in Malayalam fiction well into the 1950s. The struggles against colonial and feudal authorities in Kerala, provided a fertile context for the imaginative interpretation of Hugo’s humanist vision. The paper illustrates this point through close readings of critical essays, autobiographical narratives and debates on the nature of translation. The fascination of Malayali readers with García Márquez has resulted in the translation of his entire corpus into Malayalam. Magic realism as pioneered by García Márquez liberated the Malayalam novelistic narrative from social realist and modernist dogmas. The colonial disruption of oral narratives, the consequent cultural amnesia and the struggle to reclaim one’s forgotten past are themes that struck a chord in Malayalam writers of fiction. Through a detailed discussion of the novel, Moustache by S. Hareesh, the interface between novelistic discourse and world literature is mapped in the latter part of the essay.

After the ruling of three kings Chera, Chola and Pandiya of the Chera dynasty, the people, small land kings, land lords and many other Political changes are happening. Due to various political interventions Kerala has been identified by various cultural, literature changes. When we search the literature works of ancient times in Kerala, it is noticeable that, they are flourished through the Sangham literature. When we explore the literary development of Kerala from north to south in every time period, various literature and literacy walks has been located. Among that, the effect of Tamil language had been seen directly or indirectly. When we try to investigate the history of Malayalam literature, the growth of poetic approach of literature has been identified into three major segments. They are: 1) Pattu (2) Manipravalam (3) Folk songs. The “Pattu” literature is the account of Tamil poem which are found in respective regional linquistics. Later on, in the 8th century A.D., “Manipravalam songs” that are assorted as a distinct language from the influence of absolutely different forms from both of them, “Folk songs” took place called Vadakkan Pattu and Thekkan Pattu. We can find Proto-Dravidian features in Sangam literature. After that this aspect focuses in folk literature now. The heroic poetry of Tamil folk literature is available in both Tamil Malayalam languages. They are detected in a way that reveal the specialties of the Malayalam and Tamil languages. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze the history of Pattu literature categorization in the Malayalam literature.

Art and literature are part as well as a reflection of life. Literature and arts help to observe and interpret the world. They can also change the world. Visual arts stand in the forefront of knowledge dissemination. However the significance accorded to literature has never been given to painting. The paper traces how literature has always preceded and given more priority against painting and other visual arts form in the region of Kerala. This also goes with the fact that in discussing the history of arts, rural arts and artists are never discussed sufficiently. This is despite the fact that there is always a closer relationship between alphabets, scripts and paintings of various forms. The paper traces this close relationship to the earlier times when the scripts and written forms essentially evolved from hand drawings and stone carvings in the context of the south Indian language Malayalam. That the scripts and alphabets essentially evolved from those early pictographs should be a useful background to understand the relationship. The paper also marks the historical transitions in the Malayalam alphabets and scripts under various influences.Keywords: Evolution of Malayalam Script, Vamozhi

Abstract Machine translation (MT) from English to foreign languages is a fast developing area of research, and various techniques of translation are discussed in the literature. However, translation from English to Malayalam, a Dravidian language, is still in the rising stage, and works in this field have not flourished to a great extent, so far. The main reason of this shortcoming is the non-availability of linguistic resources and translation tools in the Malayalam language. A parallel corpus with alignment is one of such resources that are essential for a machine translator system. This paper focuses on a technique that enables automatic setting up of a verb-aligned parallel corpus by exploring the internal structure of the English and Malayalam language, which in turn facilitates the task of machine translation from English to Malayalam.

Full textAbstract:
Dr. Robert Caldwell learned Tamil when he came to Tamil Nadu to do religious work. In the Dravidian language family, Tamil is known as the classical language. He studied linguistically that Tamilam was the Tramilam and the Tramilam was Dravidian and found that Tamil was the oldest and the first of the Dravidian languages. Knowing that Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam are like Tamil with grammar and literary dialogues, he wrote a book of a comparative grammar book. In 1856, Caldwell was the first to introduce the term "comparison grammar book of Dravidian languages" or "south Indian family languages" to the world of linguistics. This article explores the trend of moral literature and the literary records of family relations as a literary form in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam, all the four Dravidian languages.

Full textAbstract:
In the following essay I am going to comment briefly on the intersection between literary and performative genres that originated in early modern Kerala and to some extent continue till date. More specifically, on their relationship with the rich tradition of representing the past through producing works that follow recognizable patterns of composition and conventions of presentation. This more general consideration shall appear here as a backdrop to a study on contemporary editions of an early Malayalam work named Tiruniḻalmāla. The editions follow the relatively recent discovery of the work in question and its subsequent reinstatement in the history of Malayalam literature. I shall argue that the specific ways this reinstatement was presented by the editors, including a particular place they claimed for this work within the formation processes of Malayalam literature, constitute competing acts of general history writing concerned with the ongoing debate on how should the cultural identity and regional history of Kerala be best represented.

K.J, Gouthaman. "A Diachronic Hypothesis about Imperfective unnu in Malayalam." Indian Journal of Language and Linguistics 3, no. 4 (2022): 1–8. http://dx.doi.org/10.54392/ijll2241.
Full textAbstract:
Across languages, the imperfective is associated with three distinct readings－“event in progress”, “habitual or generic” and “continuous” with stative predicates. In Malayalam, the suffix unnu had been identified as the imperfective suffix in linguistic literature. However, it has been noted in subsequent studies that the “generic or habitual” reading with unnu is distinctly different from a typical generic reading and that such ‘typical generic’ readings are obtained by the modal um in Malayalam. This has also led to the claim that unnu is not an imperfective marker, but an iterative pluractional bundled with progressive aspect. This paper attempts to deal with this puzzle differently, arguing that unnu is a progressive marker in the process of becoming an imperfective in Malayalam. A description of the properties of unnu-sentences, contrasting them with sentences that use the progressive marker uka and sentences that use the modal/generic marker um, is attempted. The paper also explores the role of uND(ə), the existential copula, in obtaining habitual and episodic readings with unnu. This alternative account for unnu is shown to be supported by opinions of traditional grammarians in history as well as theories of grammaticalization in diachronic semantics. It is also hypothesized that this process is blocked or halted in Malayalam by a suffix devoted to generic constructions and previously unexplored in the literature.

Preservation of precious knowledge present in Malayalam literature is a tedious task because of the presence of a huge amount of degradations in historical documents. One way to save these documents is to enhance the Malayalam manuscripts and storing them electronically. Here we are using historical Malayalam documents like poems, agreement copies and palm leaves as experimental dataset. In our proposed work is a novel binarization model which is based on modified Wellner’s algorithm. The degraded input image is converted into an integral image and then a modified version of Wellner’s algorithm is applied to it. This would enable us to enhance the document and further proceed with remaining phases of OCR. In binarization mainly we are focusing on the challenges from degraded documents like Non-uniform Background Illumination, Stains, bleed through etc. In our work we are developing a model which effectively binarizes the degraded Malayalam documents, especially the challenges like oil stain, smudge, and uneven illuminations. Finally, we will be able to validate and check the accuracy of the proposed model effectively. The proposed algorithm yielded an accuracy of 92%.
