I.A. Richards: Figurative Language...






       ##Ivor Armstrong Richards – pioneer in the domain of New Criticism.

     ## His path breaking works:-

1.       The Meaning of Meaning – 1923


2.       The Principles of Literary Criticism – 1924


3.      The Practical Criticism – 1929.

a.      Four Kinds of Meaning

b.      Two Uses of Language

c.       On Simile, Metaphor and Symbol.


*In the essay Figurative language Richards gives his justification on three Poems. Here I'm given the analysis of song:

1            

      1) हो ओ …
तेरी अखियों का वार जैसे शेर का शिकार
तेरा हुस्न धुयंदार जैसे जलता सिगार
तेरी अखियों का वार जैसे शेर का शिकार
तेरा हुस्न धुयंदार जैसे जलता सिगार
तेरे प्यार का नशा कभी आर कभी पार....

            Totally worthless song... The lyrics have absolutely no deep meaning. All it has a just few meaning less words..


      I mean love is something pure, eternal and platonic and here love is compared with "Hookkah" - which means tobbaco and we all know tobacco is injurious to health..So,how can love be compared to Hookah that has nothing to do with a bubble pipe releasing smoke....


       This lyrics are totally illogical...
           





      2)




इंग्लिश में केंदे बूटी-शूटि
पंजाबी विच टुंह
टुंह टुंह टुंह टुंह

इंग्लिश में केंदे बूटी-शूटि
पंजाबी विच टुंह
टुंह टुंह टुंह टुंह
शेक देट टुंह
शेक देट टुंह

ओ महफ़िल तान सजदी
ते हिलते-डुलते टूह
गोरे गोरे नॉटी नॉटी
राउंड राउंड टूह
पंजाबीयां दे टूह
शराबियाँ से टूह
गोरे गोरे निक्के-निक्के
तेरे-मेरे टूह
री रिपीट पे बीट पे वजदी ढोलकी
Everybody does it
And you can do it too

लेफ्ट राईट करे चैन चुराए टूह
टूह टूह टूह टूह टूह…
डिस्ट्रिक्ट में हुल्लड़ मचाये
टूह टूह टूह टूह टूह…
All the boys go crazy
when I shake that tooh

टूह टूह टूह टूह टूह…
आशिकों की लाइने लगवाए
टूह टूह टूह टूह टूह…

Another meaning less song, that make us  wonder, what are we just  heard!!!!

This song's word "Tooh" which means you have fair,naughty,round butts... We have to think about; what meaning  that this song really convey??🤔🤔🤔I mean really the entire song on the versality of Butt.....😏

It sounds wierd..It's totally worthless songs..

Thank you..😊

Task: An Ideal Teacher & An Ideal Student...

In ELT class, we got task to write our opinion about:-  How a teacher should be? & How a student should be?  Here,is my opinion about following questions: *** An Ideal Teacher:- According to me,an ideal teacher is the mirror through which an ideal student can see his or her future... An ideal teacher is just like a candle which consumes itself to light the way for others. Impartial:- An ideal teacher is one who was free from all kind of bias and prejudice. Teacher should never ever try to build up such a frame of mind which tends to consider students as their enemies for any reasons whatsoever. Flexible:- Teacher should remain calm and composed in dealing with the students and must try to understand the logic of the student. Teacher should share thoughts with the students,but sharing thought is not an easy task because the teacher needs to be sophisticated, rational and up to-date in various intellectual fields irrespective of the subject whic...
