Abstract:

This thesis aims to describe the auditory and acoustic characteristics of the rhotics in Malayalam. There is disagreement in the limited literature that exists on the language regarding the manner of articulation of the rhotics. Some refer to them as one tap and one trill (Kumari, 1972) while others describe both as trills differing slightly in place of articulation (Ladefoged and Maddieson, 1996; Srikumar and Reddy, 1988). The two rhotics are lexically contrastive, e.g. /kaɾi/ soot -/kari/ curry. One of the objectives of the present study is to describe the phonetic characteristics of the two

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis, we investigate several processes affecting coronals and velars in Tamil and Malayalam, two Dravidian languages spoken in southern India. We begin by discussing two assimilation processes which apply adjacent to front vowels, Palatalization, where anterior coronals become palatoalveolar, and Coronalization, where velars are fronted to palatoalveolar. We compare and contrast the feature geometries proposed by Sagey (1986) and Hume (1992) in their ability to adequately express these processes. In Sagey's model, front vowels are argued to be Dorsal. It is thus impossible to express

Abstract:

This thesis is an ethnographic examination of the significance of Malayalee ethnicity in Singapore. Ethnic identity is important in the daily lives of Singaporeans, due in part to the government-directed public focus in Singapore on the ideal of multiculturalism through which it is asserted that to be Singaporean, one must be, in the main, Chinese, Malay, or Indian. But other identities, such as Malayalee, a subset of the larger category "Indian", have not decreased in importance. They, in fact, remain important in identifying what kind of Chinese, Malay, or Indian a person is, as Chinese, Mal

Abstract:

Focussing on three families living within a previously unexplored immigrant multilingual Malayali community in England, the present study investigates the manner in which the participants employ their linguistic practices in order to contest and/or retain traditional status and power relations. The use of semi-structured interviews, recorded intra-family conversations and observational fieldnotes provide data from both emic and etic perspectives. The findings suggest intergenerational language transmission to contribute to the maintenance of Malayali cultural values. Embedded within these cult

Abstract:

Kamala Das is one of the best-known contemporary Indian women writers, albeit largely for the controversy that her candid, confessional writing has sparked in the relatively traditional context of Indian academia. Since the publication of her first collection of poetry, Summer in Calcutta (1965), Das has been considered an important voice of her generation. Her provocative poems are known for their unflinchingly honest explorations of the self and female sexuality, urban life, and women’s roles in traditional Indian society. Critics have expressed a range of opinions on her work: some laud her

Abstract:

Depuis trente ans le Kérala est le principal État de l'Union indienne concerné par l'émigration de travail vers le Moyen-Orient. Cet État s'illustre également par l'originalité de son développement. Cette double singularité pose ainsi la question de leurs relations. À partir de localités d'intense émigration, les gulf pockets, on assiste à une diffusion spatiale et à une diversification socio-communautaire du fait migratoire. La densification des réseaux a démultiplié le nombre d'acteurs de la migration. Les liens sociaux sont toujours plus imprégnés par la dynamique migratoire. Les incidences

Abstract:

Speech is a dynamic process without clearly distinguished parts. The development of a speaker independent, continuous, automatic speech recognition system is crucial for any language, as it could make human-machine communication easier. Few works can be found in the Malayalam speech recognition field but a fully functional, continuous, automatic recognition system is yet to be developed. The speech engine used here is the CMU-Sphinx system, an open source continuous speech, speaker independent recognition system developed at Carnegie Mellon University. The sphinx decoder requires an Acoustic m

Abstract:

In Malayalam, a Dravidian languages spoken in India, there is a contrast in vowel length, as in [ka[retroflex lateral approximant]i] 'game' and [ka:[retroflex lateral approximant]i] 'goddess of death'. This vowel length contrast is the basis for any theory of stress placement in Malayalam. A listener acceptability study was performed to determine how acceptable vowel duration variation was to native speakers. It was found that listeners prefer a long vowel to have a longer duration than a short vowel. It was also found that listeners only accepted short vowel reduction and/or deletion when it

Abstract:

The Līlātilakam of late fourteenth-century Kerala represents an attempt to grammatically and aesthetically solidify an ongoing aureate tradition—to borrow the concept from its associations with Middle English authors such as Chaucer—blending the Keraḷa-bhāṣā (old Malayalam) with Sanskrit lexical and poetic systems. That tradition takes shape as a literary and dramatic language known as Maṇipravāḷam—maṇi, the red ruby of Keraḷa-bhāṣā, and pravāḷam, the red coral of Sanskrit. Ideally words of the two language traditions blend together in a seamless and unnoticeable mixture, impor
