VIOLATION OF CONVERSATIONAL MAXIMS: THE CASE OF ADVERTISEMENTS

Abstract

Following Grice\'s (1975) proposition that irony and humour in texts may stem from the violation of conversational maxims, Yamaguchi (1988) and Attardo (1993) published works on \'nonbonafide texts of humour\'. Texts which strictly adhere to Gricean maxims invariably produce meanings. In such a scenario, ambiguous texts which violate these maxims should not be able to convey any meaning. However, this is not the case; advertisements with ambiguous language do communicate and convey meanings. Then how do we interpret this paradox? This study examines the violation of maxims in ambiguous advertising texts and explores the inferential paths that help us uncover their underlying meanings.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WOMEN\'S EXPERIENCES IN SHASHI DESHPANDE AND MANJU KAPUR\'S NOVELS

Abstract

One of the most influential authors in Indian English literature, Shashi Deshpande is renowned for her gripping examination of women\'s inner lives. Her writings explore the intricacies of gender, identity, and how women in a traditional society navigate marriage, patriarchy, and individual goals. With an emphasis on Deshpande\'s themes of feminism, identity, and the changing responsibilities of women in post-independence India, this essay examines how her female characters deal with these difficulties. : The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the issue of a woman\'s powerlessness. Society constantly wants women to be meek, docile, and timid, regardless of whether they are mothers, daughters, sisters, or wives. Through their novels, Manju Kapur and Deshpane attempt to draw attention to the shift that our society is undergoing, but it will take millions of kilometers before this shift becomes apparent. Delineating inner life and nuanced interpersonal relationships has been a key focus of current Indian women\'s writing. Individualism, the pursuit of uniqueness, demonstrations, and notions of rebelliousness have frequently remained foreign concepts to women in Indian culture and tradition. Women were not allowed to speak out for their rights, oppose injustice, or challenge prevailing beliefs, traditions, rituals, and superstitions.

महिला एवं बाल विकास योजनाओं का ग्रामीण जीवन पर प्रभाव

Abstract

भारत के ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में सामाजिक व आर्थिक विकास की दिशा में महिला एवं बाल विकास योजनाओं ने एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। इन योजनाओं का मुख्य उद्देश्य महिलाओं को सशक्त बनाना, बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य और पोषण स्तर को सुधारना तथा समग्र सामाजिक उन्नति सुनिश्चित करना है। आंगनवाड़ी सेवाएं, जननी सुरक्षा योजना, राष्ट्रीय पोषण मिशन, सुकन्या समृद्धि योजना एवं बेटी बचाओ-बेटी पढ़ाओ जैसी योजनाओं ने ग्रामीण समुदायों में जागरूकता, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं की पहुँच, बालिका शिक्षा, पोषण सुधार और आर्थिक आत्मनिर्भरता को बढ़ावा दिया है। प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र में इन योजनाओं के ग्रामीण जीवन पर पड़ने वाले प्रभावों का विश्लेषण किया गया है, जिसमें पाया गया कि योजनाओं ने बाल-मातृ मृत्यु दर को घटाने, संस्थागत प्रसव को बढ़ाने, बालिकाओं के नामांकन में वृद्धि करने एवं महिलाओं की आर्थिक स्थिति को सुदृढ़ करने में उल्लेखनीय योगदान दिया है। यद्यपि इन योजनाओं ने ग्रामीण जीवन को सकारात्मक रूप से प्रभावित किया है, फिर भी कई क्षेत्रों में सूचनात्मक और प्रशासनिक चुनौतियाँ अब भी बनी हुई हैं। अतः योजनाओं की प्रभावशीलता को और अधिक बढ़ाने के लिए समुदाय आधारित जागरूकता, बेहतर निगरानी और पारदर्शी क्रियान्वयन आवश्यक है।
