A Study Of Conversational Implicatures In Girish Karnad's Hayavadana

Balaji Natkare

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

arious philosophers and linguists have expressed different views on the use of language and have put forward the innovative theories to illustrate the complicated network of meaning. Language is a means of communication and is an essential matter of fact to study the nature of it by the various angles developed by the various scholars of language and literature across the world. Therefore, an attempt is made in this paper to study some of the selected pieces of conversation in Girish Karnad's well-known play Hayavadana, by the pragmatic point of view in general and the conversational principles in particular, to dig-out the implied meanings of it. However, the research in this field has already proved that pragmatics is really a significant branch of linguistics to understand the human nature. As the meanings of the utterances vary as the context gets changed; therefore, the pragmatic approach helps to study the deeper/unstated levels of meaning more logically.
