Description

The objective of this paper is to present comprehensive principles of language spread that are applicable in post-globalized scenarios, by expanding upon and consolidating our already-published works in which had we studied different aspects of diachronic and synchronic linguistics and language dynamics including language dynamics in India. Admittedly, these principles and theories cannot be comprehensive, inclusive or wide-ranging enough to account for all dimensions of language spread in all possible scenarios at this juncture. However, we recommend a repository-type and a nomothetic approach which will allow for principles drawn from new and varied case studies and fieldwork from different contexts around the world to be generalized and extended to other contexts, with suitable annotations and clarifications regarding their anticipated general or context-specific use. These approaches are particularly relevant in post-globalized scenarios which we expect to be the norm, barring exceptions, given that the factors working in favour of a global long term, political, economic and technological socio-cultural integration are expected to outweigh those working against it. Thus, non contact-based scenarios are expected to be over-arching in the twenty-first century, and are expected to take precedence over contact-based scenarios in many cases, even though the latter can both directly and indirectly impact the former. Therefore, this paper takes into account work already done in the field of sociolinguistics, applied sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and applied linguistics, and recasts them and reassesses them in such a way, that their relevance to post-globalized scenarios is brought out. It also merges them with our theories and approaches in the field of linguistics, and brings them in line with our philosophy of the 'Globalization of science'. Thus, the approach and emphasis of this paper is quite different from other vital publications in this field.

About the Author

Sujay Rao Mandavilli was born in India on the 18th of November, 1969, and is the son of an IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Professor. He is the great great grand son of Hindu philosopher and reformer late Diwan Bahadur J. Venkatanarayana Naidu. (Refer Wikipedia) Sujay has been fascinated with science from an early age and built his first telescope at the age of eleven. He has been interested in the Aryan problem since the 1990’s. He is committed to the healthy growth of science in India and elsewhere. He has worked in different technology firms for twenty years including as a Senior Consultant for IBM for Six years and has executed assignments for different clients across the world in the field of Governance, Risk, Compliance, Process Improvement and Information Security, and in this connection, has travelled to or worked in fourteen different countries. At age 48, he quit the technology sector completely to focus on fighting dogmas, religious fascism and ideological constructs and bring about a scientific and an intellectual awakening in developing counties like India using his own unique methods and approaches, with the hope that this will be a role model for other developing countries as well. He is interested in the ‘Globalization of Science’ i.e. how intellectual multi-polarity can be beneficial to science itself. He is also interested in the ‘Sociology of Science’ i.e. how a proper teaching of science can lead to Social and Intellectual revolutions in regions where such revolutions are long overdue and greatly increase scientific output. He is the Founder-Director of the Institute for the Study of the Globalisation of Science (Registered as the Globalisation of Science Trust) which is has already started empanelling a group of researchers and scientists to plan its next course of action.
