Abstract

Language shapes social realities, and also reflects socially constrained identity of an individual so much so that the relationship between language and identity is intertwined. The paper explores how women are represented in the Hindi proverbs. The portrayal of women in these proverbs is mainly negative; they are represented as being devilish, senseless, morally degenerated, and powerless. The study highlights proverbs extracted from the corpus of thousand proverbs from literary and non-literary oral tradition. The paper focuses on the semanticity of proverbs, and finds out how negative representation degrades the identity of women. The linguistic analysis of these proverbs highlights that the women are represented in bad humor, and further pictures their negative image. The paper sums up stating how the meaning depicted by these proverbs reflects the sociolinguistic reality.

语言与身份:以女性为中心的印地语谚语的语言学研究

语言塑造了社会现实，也反映了个人受社会约束的身份，以至于语言和身份之间的关系交织在一起。本文探讨了女性在印地语谚语中的表现。这些谚语中对女性的描写主要是消极的;他们被描绘成恶魔，愚蠢，道德堕落，无能为力。该研究重点从文学和非文学口头传统的千谚语语料库中提取谚语。本文通过对谚语语义的分析，揭示了消极表达是如何贬低女性身份的。通过对这些谚语的语言学分析，突出了这些谚语中女性的坏幽默，并进一步描绘了她们的负面形象。本文总结了这些谚语所描述的意义是如何反映社会语言学现实的。
