There are two main types of language varieties: dialects and languages. A dialect is a variety of a language that is characteristic of a particular group, such as a regional dialect like American English or a social dialect spoken by different social classes. The key difference between a dialect and a separate language is mutual intelligibility - varieties that are mutually intelligible are considered dialects, while mutually unintelligible varieties are considered separate languages. However, the distinction between dialects and languages is not always clear-cut and can depend on social and political factors as much as linguistic ones.Internet explorer

The Geneva School was founded by Ferdinand de Saussure in Switzerland and focuses on structuralism linguistics. Saussure introduced key concepts including the distinction between langue (the language system) and parole (individual speech acts), the idea that the basic unit of language is the linguistic sign consisting of the signifier and signified, and the relationship between syntagmatic (chain) and paradigmatic (choice) relations. Saussure's work influenced many subsequent schools of linguistic theory and established structuralism as an approach to analyzing language.Human Language (Begin the from word, Relation between sound and meaning, Fact...

Human language is a product of evolution and convention, transmitted through generations, and is subject to change. There is no inherent connection between the sounds of words and their meanings, and all languages share a complex grammatical structure. Language is a social, systematic, and symbolic tool that exists wherever humans are found.Ad

- 4. Raju is a railway guide who becomes fall love with Rosie, a neglected wife of Marco. Rosie has a passion for dancing which Marco doesn't approve of. Rosie, encouraged by Raju, decides to follow her dreams and walks out on her husband. Raju becomes her stage manager and soon with the help of Raju's marketing tactics, Rosie becomes a successful dancer. The relationship between Raju and Rosie is strained. TheStoryLine Raju inadvertently gets involved in a case of forgery and gets a two year sentence. On his release from prison, Raju stops to rest near an abandoned temple, where a villager named Velan mistakes him for a holy man. Raju is content with the arrangement, until a drought occurs, and, to save face, he has to take up a 12-day fast. He continues to fast until he collapses. His legs sag down as he feels that the rain is falling in the hills. The ending of the novel leaves unanswered the question of whether he dies, or whether the drought has really ended.
- 5. Raju, the central character. Raju is in a sense a double character. As a tour guide and lover, he is impulsive, unprincipled, and self-indulgent. After his imprisonment, and after his transformation as a holy man, he is careful, thoughtful, and self-disciplined. Leading Characters
- 6. Rosie is the another central character. Rosie is an attractive young wife of 'Marco'. Her husband is like God to her. She is very passionate about dancing. She is religious by nature as she believes in Goddess Saraswati Passionate Nature. She is a true lover.
- 7. A central theme of the novel is the transformation of Raju from his role as a tour guide to that of a spiritual guide. The title of the novel, The Guide, has a double meaning, and Raju is in a sense a double character. The novel also tells two stories, that of Rajus relationship with Rosie as tour guide and that of Rajus relationship with the villagers as a holy man. Raju is a sympathetic character throughout the novel. Personal Opinion
