Speech is the use of the human voice as a medium for language. Spoken language combines vowel and consonant sounds to form units of meaning like words, which belong to a language's lexicon. There are many different intentional speech acts, such as informing, declaring, asking, persuading, directing; acts may vary in various aspects like enunciation, intonation, loudness, and tempo to convey meaning. Individuals may also unintentionally communicate aspects of their social position through speech, such as sex, age, place of origin, physiological and mental condition, education, and experiences.

பேச்சு (Speech) என்பது மனிதக் குரலின் மூலமாக மொழியைப் பயன்படுத்தி மேற்கொள்ளப்படும் தொடர்பாடலாகும். ஒவ்வொரு மொழியும் உயிரெழுத்து மற்றும் மெய் ஒலிகளின் ஒலிப்புச் சேர்க்கைகளைப் பயன்படுத்தி சொற்களின் ஒலியை உருவாக்குகிறது.

Tamil language , member of the Dravidian language family, spoken primarily in India . It is the official language of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the union territory of Puducherry (Pondicherry). It is also an official language in Sri Lanka and Singapore and has significant numbers of speakers in Malaysia , Mauritius , Fiji , and South Africa . In 2004 Tamil was declared a classical language of India, meaning that it met three criteria: its origins are ancient; it has an independent tradition; and it possesses a considerable body of ancient literature. In the early 21st century more than 66 million people were Tamil speakers.

The earliest Tamil writing is attested in inscriptions and potsherds from the 5th century bce . Three periods have been distinguished through analyses of grammatical and lexical changes: Old Tamil (from about 450 bce to 700 ce ), Middle Tamil (700–1600), and Modern Tamil (from 1600). The Tamil writing system evolved from the Brahmi script. The shape of the letters changed enormously over time, eventually stabilizing when printing was introduced in the 16th century ce . The major addition to the alphabet was the incorporation of Grantha letters to write unassimilated Sanskrit words, although a few letters with irregular shapes were standardized during the modern period. A script known as Vatteluttu (“Round Script”) is also in common use.

Spoken Tamil has changed substantially over time, including changes in the phonological structure of words. This has created diglossia —a system in which there are distinct differences between colloquial forms of a language and those that are used in formal and written contexts . The major regional variation is between the form spoken in India and that spoken in Jaffna (Sri Lanka), capital of a former Tamil city-state, and its surrounds. Within Tamil Nadu there are phonological differences between the northern, western, and southern speech. Regional varieties of the language intersect with varieties that are based on social class or caste .

Like the other Dravidian languages, Tamil is characterized by a series of retroflex consonants (/ḍ/, /ṇ/, and /ṭ/) made by curling the tip of the tongue back to the roof of the mouth. Structurally, Tamil is a verb-final language that allows flexibility regarding the order of the subject and the object in a sentence. Adjectives and relative, adverbial, and infinitive clauses normally precede the term they modify, while inflections such as those for tense , number, person, and case are indicated with suffixes.

27+ Easy Conversational Tamil Phrases For Beginners

• , March 15, 2023

What intrigued me about the Tamil language was a very popular Tamil song titled ‘Unnai Kaanadhu Naan.’ Melodious music apart, the use of poetic imagery in this song kept me hooked for days on end. That’s when I decided to look up some conversational Tamil phrases to get to know this language more intimately and even sing along to this beauty of a song one fine day. Well, one can certainly hope!

Here’s one revelation: Learning essential Tamil words and expressions is NOT that difficult.

Learning Tamil Common Phrases

Learning basic conversational phrases in any language is the first step to venturing into learning a language as a tourist or traveler. As with any other language, there is a lot of difference between its written/ formal form and spoken/ informal conversation/colloquial form. Thus, spoken Tamil differs quite a lot from its written form.

For example, in an everyday conversation, complete sentences are not used. A Sari/ Cari (சரி – Okay) is a phrase. Accompanied by a warm and friendly smile, it can take you a long way and help you get by in an unknown situation. Addressing a strange old lady like Amma and an unknown older man like Appa can ensure you a home-cooked meal. So, knowing these language basics endears you to the locals and softens their countenance. A word of respect here and a friendly Eṉṉā (what) there can make a lot of difference to your local experience.

Word Classes or Parts of Speech in Tamil

There need to establish word classes or parts of speeches in Tamil before describing how to form them. Words can be categorized from the point of view of morphology and syntax features. Bases on how a particular word get inflected and how and where it occurs in sentences, they can be assigned grammatical or word category. In English words are classified into eight parts of speech. They are: noun, adjective, pronoun, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Traditional grammarians, it appears recognizes only two classes, noun and verb as major grammatical classes in Tamil. The Tamil grammars written by the influence of English grammars assumes the same number of parts of speech for Tamil. It is proposed here to explore the word classes in Tamil from the point of view of morphology and syntax.

Tamil, morphologically speaking, is primarily agglutinating, and suffixal. In other words, inflections are marked by suffixes attached to a lexical base, which may be augmented by derivational suffixes. The traditional treaties on Tamil grammar define a distinction through free forms (the major grammatical classes), and bound forms (items like particles, and clitics). Tolkappiyam recognizes Tamil as constituting two major word classes: nouns, termed peyarccol and verbs, termed vinaiccol. As per the classical grammatical treatises, and as recorded in Pope (1985), each of these are characterized by a narrow set of features, all of which are necessarily morphological. The characterization of the major grammatical categories of Tamil by Pope (1985) is worth mentioned here. According to Pope nouns are characterized by four features: class, division, person and case. There are two kinds of classes, rational and irrational. There are five divisions, masculine, feminine, rational-plural, irrational-singular, and irrational-plural; the three divisions, masculine and feminine and irrational-singular are called singular number; the two other divisions are called plural number. There are three persons: the first, second, and the third. Cases are eight in number: nominative, accusative, sociative, dative, ablative, instrumental and locative. According to Pope the verb consists of the following things: root, personal terminations, three persons, five divisions, tenses, imperative mood, optative mood, two particles, negative form, and verbal noun. The root of a verb is the indivisible part which stands first. That part of a verb which stands at the end and shows the class, division, and person of its subject is its personal termination. There are three tenses: past, present, and future. These are generally indicated by a medial particle between the root and the personal termination. The imperative is used only in the second person, and in the singualr its form is that of the simple verbal root. By the addition of um alone, or of um with kaL, the plural is formed. The optative is that form of the verb, which is used with a subject of any of the two classes, five divisions, and three persons, to express a 'wish' or 'polite command'. A participle is a defective (or dependent) verbal form. There are two kinds of participles: adverbial participle and adjectival participles. A negative mood is recognized as indicated by those forms of the verb which deny an action. Combining the personal ending and the root without any medial particle forms the negative finite verb common to the three tenses. A verbal noun is a noun formed by adding tal, al or kai to the root of a verb. Adjectives and adverb in Tamil are syntactically recognized category. They are not decided by the type of inflection they receive; rather they are identified by their function in the sentential construction.

They are not decided by the type of inflection they receive; rather they are identified by their function in the sentential construction.

Nominalization is the process by which noun are derived from lexemes of different grammatical categories. Nouns can be formed from the words belonging to all parts of speech in Tamil. Based on the grammatical category from which the nouns are derived, the derivation of nouns can be classified mainly into four types: 1. Formation of nouns from nouns kaaval ‘guard’ + ar > kaavalar ‘policeman’ kaappu ‘protection’+ akam > kaappakam ‘asylum’ 2. Formation of nouns form verbs paaTu ‘sing’ + al > paaTal ‘song’ tuungku ‘sleeps' + am > tuukkam ‘sleep’ 3. Formation of nouns from adjectives periya ‘big’ + avar > periyavar ‘old man’ koTiya ‘bad’ + avar > koTiyavar ‘bad peson’ Apart from word level nominalization processes, there are nominalization processes at the clause level too. This paper aims to capture the processes of nominalization on verbs which cover up both word level and clause level nominalizations.

Linguists differ in their opinions in taking adjective as a grammatical category. Scholars like Asher, Lehman and Kothandaraman take adjective as a grammatical category in Tamil. There is a complete lack of agreement among grammarians whether to consider adjective as a form class in Tamil. The difficulty in providing an operational definition for adjective crops up due to this reason.Lehman takes adjective as a syntactic category only. According to Lehmann (1989:131), "The lexical category of adjective is another syntactic category in Modern Tamil which has evolved in a diachronic process". Adjective can occur as an attribute in pre nominal position as modifier of a head noun in a noun phrase. The traditional grammars of Tamil talks elaborately about nouns and verbs only. It appears that they have not treated adjectives and adverbs as separate categories in Tamil. They treat adjectives as relative participial forms of appellative verbs (kuRippup peyareccam) and relative participial forms of regular verbs (terindilaip peyareccam). The qualitative adjectives are reconstructed as qualitative nouns. peeraacai 'extreme eagerness' < perumai 'bigness' + aacai 'desire' ciRRaamal 'small lily' < ciRumai 'smallness' + aampal 'lilly' There are at least three kinds of opinion regarding the categorization of adjectives: 1. Adjective is a separate grammatical category. 2. Adjective is not a separate grammatical category but a sub-category of noun or verb. 3. Adjective is a mixed grammatical category These three opinions about adjectives are explored in this paper apart from explaining the strategies adopted in the formation of adjectives in Tamil.

Émilie Aussant

The paper deals about the formation of nouns in Tamil.

Compounding and suffixation are important processes of word-formation in Malayalam. Compound words are formed mostly from two or more noun stems, from a noun and a verb stem, or, in a relatively small number of cases, from other combinations. The most common type of compound word is one in which both or all constituent parts are noun stems. This type of compounding is productive. Formation of a reduplicated noun compound by the combination of a noun root and a partially reduplicated form of the same root is also productive. Compound verbs are formed mostly from a noun + verb combination. This is a productive process. In addition to it, compound verbs are formed extensively by the combination of the verbal participle form of one verb with another verb. This process cannot be considered as a productive one. Prefixation is an entirely unproductive process, though there are some pairs of words borrowed from Sanskrit which differ only in the presence of a negative-marking prefix on one member of the pair. Verbs form many abstract nouns by suffixation. A proper understanding of the word-formation in a language needs classification of such processes on formal grounds. Bauer (1983) classifies the word-formation in English as follows: Compounding, Prefixation, Suffixation, Conversion, Backformation, Clipping, Formation of blends, Formation of acronyms and Word manufacturing. Malayalam makes use of compounding and suffixation extensively for the formation of words. Though the present paper attempts to give the types of word formation in Malayalam based on typology, explanations will be given by raising certain problematic issues.

This paper is a report of the preliminary analysis of the Tamil corpus developed at the Central Institute of Indian Languages. It discusses the distribution of characters (initial, medial, and final), syllables, and words in terms of their frequencies and coverage in the corpus. The comprehensive information with regard to various linguistic elements is extracted from the Tamil corpus. It does not envisage covering all the aspects but restricts to certain aspects of the written Tamil corpus.

To be honest, the basic work of this monograph was initiated in 1974 when I started working for my Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Peri Baskararao who was a professor at that time in Department of Linguistics, Deccan College Postgraduate and Research Institute, Pune which was affiliated to University of Poona at that time. I worked on “Syntax and semantics of Tamil verbs.” It was two pronged: one is to study the argument structure of Tamil verbs based on Fillmore’s ‘Case grammar’ and another is to study the semantics of Tamil verbs based on Nida’s “Componential analysis of meaning: an introduction to semantic structure.” I tried to find out case frames for the verbs as well as to classify the verbs into certain semantic domains based on Nida’s principles. Also I tried to account for the polysemy of each verb. Later on I tried to make use of principles of cognitive semantics and Pustejovsky’s generative lexicon principles to explain the polysemy found in verbs. The findings of the above mentioned research works have culminated into the present monograph. The organization of the book: The book is organized into following five chapters: Chapter1: Introduction Chapter 2: Semantic change and semantic extension Chapter 3: Semantic change and semantic extensions of Tamil verbs based on Cognitive principles Chapter 4: Semantic change and semantic extension of Tamil verbs based on principles of Generative lexicon Chapter 5: Conclusion

Analysis of Trump's Speech Finds Signs of Cognitive Decline

"there’s reasonable evidence suggestive of forms of dementia.".

If you watched Donald Trump on Thursday speaking from a news conference in Florida, you may notice he seemed extremely incoherent, especially when he was talking about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

"She picked a radical left... uh, man... that is... he's got things done, that, he has positions that just are not even possible to believe they exist," he said . "He's going for things that nobody's ever even heard of."

Trump's affinity for word soup isn't new, but the increasing disarray of his speech is striking for the 78-year-old candidate. Case in point, a group of experts interviewed by STAT say that Trump's speech patterns have deteriorated in recent years, a common sign of worsening cognitive health.

"There’s reasonable evidence suggestive of forms of dementia," clinical psychologist Ben Michaelis told STAT after reviewing recent Trump speeches. "The reduction in complexity of sentences and vocabulary does lead you to a certain picture of cognitive diminishment."

Not good for Trump - he seems to be labouring and suffering - struggling to tie up sentences here. Compare that with the punchiness & sheer enjoyment of Harris and Walz right now. pic.twitter.com/ghJ93qNhfp — Mike Galsworthy (@mikegalsworthy) August 8, 2024

What's even more telling is that one of the experts, University of Texas at Austin social psychologist James Pennebaker, used statistical software to analyze Trump's speech patterns between 2015 and the present, finding "significant changes in Trump’s linguistic tendencies."

Ever since Trump was booted out of office in 2020, Pennebaker said the business magnate has been using more "all-or-nothing thinking," with increased usage of words like "always" or "never" — a behavior that President Joe Biden, who stepped aside from the race amid growing concern about his health, has also been exhibiting.

This verbal tick is associated with depression and decreasing cognitive ability, Pennebaker said.

STAT previously analyzed Trump's speech in 2017 , finding that his speech patterns had broken down since the 1980s.

His speech back in the 1980s and 1990s sounded eloquent and intelligent. Nowadays, Trump has a tendency to ramble and make tangental longwinded asides. He's also derailing from his talking points more so than in previous years.

"Tangentiality certainly amped up and it’s difficult to follow him," Michaelis said. "You’d expect some cognitive diminishment of course, he’s 78 years old — if he was your grandfather you wouldn’t expect anything different. He just happens to be running for president."

Others, like ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , have observed that the former president seems to be suffering a decline.

Trump has been sounding tired and beaten, especially at Thursday's press conference.

"Does Trump actually want to run anymore," pondered New Yorker contributor Jay Caspian Kang on X .

It's worth noting that Trump survived an assassination attempt less than a month ago , and he may well be suffering trauma from that event.

Though Biden abdicated the party ticket after his disastrous debate performance in June , there's very little likelihood that Republicans will abandon Trump despite showing a noticeably less sharp mind — meaning that if he wins the race, this is the man who will occupy the Oval Office.

4 takeaways from Tim Walz’s first campaign speech as Kamala Harris’s running mate

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Hours after being named as Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz introduced himself to American voters Tuesday with a forceful speech at a Philadelphia rally in which he sought to portray the Democratic ticket as full of optimism and “joy.”

At a rally at Temple University, Walz was introduced by the woman who selected him as her prospective vice president. Harris, the current vice president touted his military service, his years spent as a teacher and a high school football coach, his vote in Congress to help pass the Affordable Care Act, his signing a law that codified abortion rights in Minnesota after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and his expansion of gun restrictions in that state.

Harris told the audience that Walz, who served in Congress from 2007 to 2019 before being elected governor in 2019, “will be ready on day one.” Comparing Walz and former President Donald Trump ’s running mate JD Vance was “like a matchup between the varsity team and the JV squad.”

Here are the key takeaways from Walz’s speech:

Reintroducing Harris

When she wasn’t speaking about Walz, Harris stuck to her standard stump speech, portraying herself as a former prosecutor and former attorney general who was familiar with what she said were criminal types like Trump. But Walz also used Tuesday’s speech before a large audience to try to introduce optimistic contours to that bio.

“Thank you, Madam Vice President, for the trust you put in me, but, maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy,” he said.

Harris, Walz added, “has fought on the side of the American people.”

“She took on the predators, she took on the fraudsters, she took down the transnational gangs,” he said. “She stood up against powerful corporate interests and she never hesitated to reach across the aisle if it meant improving peoples’ lives.”

Reflecting the renewed energy expressed by Democrats since Harris replaced President Biden as the party’s candidate, as well as the Republican attacks on the vice president’s laugh, Walz reiterated that she approached her job “with a sense of joy.”

A commitment to country and community

“I was born in West Point, Nebraska. I lived in Butte, a small town of 400, where community was a way of life. Growing up, I spent the summers working on the family farm. My mom and dad taught us, ‘show generosity to your fellow neighbors and work for a common good.’”

Walz recounted joining the Army National Guard at the age of 17. “For 24 years, I proudly wore the uniform of this nation,” he said.

“The National Guard gave me purpose,” he said. “It gave me the strength of a shared commitment, of something greater than ourselves.”

Walz also made clear that he viewed the remaining three months of the presidential campaign as a continuation of that service.

“So we got 91 days. My God, that’s easy,” he said. “We’ll sleep when we’re dead.”

‘Don’t ever underestimate teachers’

Both Harris and Walz leaned heavily on his background as a social studies teacher and a football coach at a public high school. Walz also noted how integrated that profession had been with his family.

“I can’t wait for all of you in America to get to know my incredible wife, Gwen, a 29-year public school educator,” Walz said. “Don’t ever underestimate teachers.”

“My dad was a teacher,” he added. “My brothers and sisters and I followed in his footsteps. Three out of four of us married teachers. [It’s] what we do.”

Having been a teacher for nearly 20 years, Walz said that it was his students who “encouraged me to run for office. They saw in me what I was hoping to instill in them a commitment in common good. A belief that one person can make a difference.”

“And because high school teachers are super optimistic, I was running in a district that had one Democrat since 1892,” he added.

‘Weird as hell’

During his own warm-up speech at the rally, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro all but acknowledged that Walz’s folksy attack on Trump and Vance as “weird” had influenced Harris’s decision to pick Walz as her running mate.

“Tim Walz, in his beautiful Midwestern, plain-spoken way, he summed up JD Vance the best,” Shapiro said. “He's a weirdo."

When it was his turn to speak, Walz backed up that assessment with a few zingers that bolstered the themes of his speech.

“Now, Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us. First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself,” he said at one point.

“Make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump — that’s not even counting the crimes he committed,” he added.

On the topic of reproductive rights, Walz underlined his Midwestern values.

“In Minnesota we respect our neighbors and the personal choices that they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves. There’s a golden rule: Mind your own damn business,” he said.

Turning to Vance, Walz brought the “weird” attack full circle.

“I can’t wait to debate the guy, that is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up,” Walz said in reference to a salacious (and debunked) rumor about Vance, resulting in the night’s biggest response from the crowd. “I gotta tell you, pointing out just an observation of mine that I made, I just have to say it. You know it, you feel it: These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell.”

'Get off the couch': Walz's JD Vance joke throws dirt. Some say it's about time

'i can't wait to debate the guy—that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up,' walz quipped after harris introduced him as her running-mate..

An obscene hoax targeting Sen. J.D. Vance took over the internet last month after former President Donald Trump selected the Ohio Republican as his running mate. The hoax, based on a doctored page from Vance’s memoir, involves a couch and is as false as it is unprintable.

That didn’t stop Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz from giving the nasty and wildly popular meme prime time play Tuesday night at a raucous Democratic rally in Philadelphia.

“I can't wait to debate the guy—that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up,” Walz told a crowd of 14,000 people – and millions more on TV – after Vice President Kamala Harris introduced him as her vice-presidential pick. “See what I did there?”

Social media is thick with lies and misinformation aimed at major politicians, with Democrats – including President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris – dogged by false conspiracies alleging some of the worst crimes imaginable .

So why did Walz, whose brand leans heavily on Midwestern decency , inject that hint of slime into his speech Tuesday? And what does it say that the Democratic ticket is willing to traffic in a denigrating hoax? 

'Total war' or political misstep?

“For years, the Republicans have had a blitzkrieg and the Democrats have had a zitskrieg,” said Hank Scheinkopf, a New York Democratic consultant. “That’s done. There are no more gentlemen's agreements. This is total war.” 

In this line of thinking, no amount of fact-checking or “When they go low, we go high” buoyancy is going to get the Harris-Walz ticket to victory against a conspiracy-mongering opponent like Trump.

On Tuesday night, Trump speculated that Biden, who left the race under the weight of sinking poll numbers and worries about his age , would try to snatch back the Democratic nomination after surrendering it to “the people in the World he most hates.”

“I hear there is a big movement to bring back ‘Crooked Joe,’ ” Trump said in an all-caps post on Truth Social, even as Harris pulled even with him in national polls.

The only answer to Trump’s falsehoods , some Democrats say, is to hit him and Vance where it hurts, even if that means amplifying a ribald lie.

“The Republicans are not going to get a pass,” Scheinkopf said. “As tough as they get, this guy will get,” he said of the stocky Minnesota governor. “People should stop wringing their hands.”

Dems getting Trumpy with Vance couch attack?

Others say Walz misstepped by taking the low road in that energized moment in Philadelphia. 

“I don’t know why a newly minted vice presidential candidate, in the middle of a very successful rollout, would stoop like that,” said Ron Fournier, a Detroit-based public relations consultant and former political journalist. 

While “the crowd loved it, Democratic activists love it,” Fournier said, the Harris campaign risks alienating independents and undecideds in an election that could be determined by small groups of voters in a few swing states. “Why do something that might turn them off? The Democrats can beat Trump without being Trump,” Fournier said.

For Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Walz’ couch comment was par for the course. 

"I think the American people see through it, " the chair of the House Judiciary Committee told USA TODAY ''The American people see that J.D. Vance has lived the American dream.”

Walz, in a deft act of political judo , became a rising Democratic star this summer by using some of Trump and Vance’s statements on abortion, race, and gender to brand the Republican Party as “weird” and outside the American mainstream.

If he went too far on Tuesday night, that’s just fine, some Democrats say. 

“For 2 years we had to hear that Joe Biden was an international super criminal mastermind from Despicable Me 3,” Rep. Jared Moscowitz, D-Fla., wrote on social media , referring to fizzled Republican claims of a so-called "Biden crime family." “You will listen to (the) couch story.”

Walz didn't repeat the couch crack at a swing state appearance with Harris in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on Wednesday afternoon. But a clip of the one-liner posted to governor's account on X was still up − and had been viewed 5 million times.
