* Abstract
|
|
|
|
This assignment is about identifying the linguistic markers of regional identity of the city of Dehradun. We will try to understand what is a linguistic marker and how it is linked to our regional identity. A very short discussion on how we define regional identity. The different markers that are refrenced are one's observed by me. The greates effect is of the Gharwali language on my dialect even though neither I, nor anyone in my immediate family speak it. Althought, I can understand it but only of family from mother's side. The most clear marker of the regional identity for me is the sentence structure in Gharwali is very flexible compared to Hindi, so compared to speakers from other regions, people in the Dehradun region tend to use the wrong sentence structure. Other markers are use of honorifics and vocabulary are different.

* Conclusion

|
|
|
In this assignment, we looked at what the simplest definition of a linguistic marker can be. There was also a brief look at what is regional identity. We then looked at the linguistic markers of the hindi language used in the region of Dehradun and tried to find the connection between the Gharwali language and how it may have effected the regional languages.
