The nine essays of this volume, devoted to the broadly understood problem of the definition and usage of Hindi, tackle the issue of what «Hindi» is, and analyse its various aspects as official language, link language, language of diasporas, language of cultural and religious tradition, language used in economy and business, etc.
Klappentext zu „Defining the Indefinable: Delimiting Hindi “
The nine extensive essays of this volume are by specialists on South Asia whose research focus includes the extremely complicated problematics of the linguistic situation there. It is devoted to the broadly understood problem of defining Hindi as well as indicating the different ranges of its use. The authors of the included texts come from Europe, the USA and India, and grapple with questions such as what Hindi is, how it functions in the social, political and cultural dimensions of present-day India, and how it is being used by authorities and various influential actors at different levels of Indian reality. The volume should be important and useful for all those who are interested in Hindi, its official and non-official status, and in Indian linguistic policy and politics generally.
