Description:
This volume represents the description and analysis of the standardized modern Hindi (मानक हिंदी), with an emphasis on the elevated literary language, occasionally including explanations of colloquial language. The content is focused on the language as it is used today, with the status of the official language of the Republic of India, recognized by the country’s constitution. It is a utopian approach to make an exhaustive characterization of a modern language, whatever it may be, given the layers of evolution and the external influences that have polished it. In addition, a language is indivisibly linked to the people and the places, the culture, the customs and the way in which the members of the society interact. To some extent, language carries a socio-cultural identity. The abstraction of a linguistic entity to such an extent – only to diminish the amount of information – so as to match the expectations of individuals, is synonymous with denying identities, killing originality and refusing to accept a complex, multilingual and multilayered reality.
