Abstract:

These scientific skeptical essays are a representative sample of the author’s
ouvre as a linguist and thinker. It comprises some leading-edge articles, some
of them of a timeless character and game-changing, as Probal Dasgupta says in
his foreword, sedulously wrought academic exercises on linguistic structure,
on the language of literature which field bristles with seriously skewed
perceptions, on translation as a phenomenon, on art and literature whose
internal expanses are in my view seriously skewed as well. This becomes clear,
in this limited expressive canvas of the possibilities of the author’s being,
in articles like The Language of Literature: An Articulation of its Distance
from Everyday Speech, Poetic License: A Linguist’s Eye-view, Language and
Literature: Clearing the Ground. For example, as is argued persuasively in Art
cannot Own What Reason Disowns: Caste in Kannada Literature, all art needs to
make life and the world sentients live in beautiful and magically alive, and
not dignify and legitimise as a matter of course ‘sewers in spate’ that human
ethoses may empirically be. Art needs to operate within the boundaries defined
by ethical salubriousness and civilisational salutariness. The locution
‘poetic license’ is an egregious misnomer (Poetic License: A Linguist’s
Eye-view). All papers here on linguistic structure are originally researched
ones. The notion of language, we have known for some time now, has been
chronically misperceived. Some of the papers try to repair this. The article,
Language and Culture: Some Misgivings, for example, and the one on the
Chomskyan perspective on the epistemics of natural language.
