Abstract
The tendency for the abstract domain of time to be lexicalized in terms of the relatively concrete domain of space has been extensively researched with reference to languages spoken in the Western hemisphere. That such cross-domain mappings in the conceptual system give rise to metaphors is also a well-established fact. The surface realization of metaphors known as "metaphoric expressions" are said to be language and culture specific and tend to play an important role in expressing inter-subjective communication needs. There is limited published literature on this topic with reference to the languages of South Asia, and especially those of India. Drawing on some insights gathered from previously published research on this topic, this corpus-based study examines aspects of temporality encoded in a set of 105 metaphoric expressions in Telugu. The results revealed that metaphoric expressions containing reduplicated spatial terms encode "time-as-such" temporality and are greater in number compared to both temporal terms expressing "matrix-sense", and onomatopes expressing "event-based time". These results are discussed with the help of examples and some suggestions are made for future research.

The Post colonial society in India has witnessed the turmoil to come out from the widespread control and influence of colonialism. The socio-cultural life of a society with all its dynamics is reflected in realistic forms of literature. The social events and human experience are drawn into a new creative form and are given to the reader as a new understanding and perspective of life. It enables the reader to understand the essence of life and motivates him to prepare for a positive change. After India becoming free from the colonial rule in 1947, systematic efforts were made by central and state governments and institutions to limit the role of English and simultaneously enlarge the function of Indian languages by planning in a strategic manner. The eighteen languages recognized as national languages are having very rich literatures. Telugu language is one among the Dravidian language family and is widely spoken by a majority of people. The post colonial socio-cultural factors were very well reflected in Telugu literature. The anti-colonial, reform oriented, progressive, post modernistic trends in Telugu literature are nothing but creative reflections of the post colonial society. This paper examines the major socio-cultural reflections in Telugu literature of the post colonial period.

Kṣētrayya is the attributed author of Telugu padams (short lyrical poems) dedicated to Muvva Gōpāla, a form of the Hindu deity Kṛṣṇa. Kṣētrayya is commonly described as a peripatetic poet from the village of Muvva in Telugu-speaking South India who wandered south to the Nāyaka courts of Tanjavur in the seventeenth century. Contrary to popular and scholarly assumptions about this poet, this article argues that Kṣētrayya was not a historical figure, but rather, a literary persona constructed into a Telugu bhakti poet-saint through the course of three centuries of literary reform. A close reading of selected padams attributed to Kṣētrayya reveals the uniquely tangible world of female sexuality painted by the speakers of these poems. However, these padams became sanitized through the course of colonial and post-colonial anti-nautch and Telugu literary reform. In line with this transformation, the hagiography of the poet Kṣētrayya was carefully molded to fit a prefabricated typology of a Telugu bhakti poet-saint. Countering the longstanding narrative of solo male authorship, the article raises the possibility that these padams were composed by multiple authors, including vēśyas (courtesans).

Now a day Social Media like Facebook, twitter and Instagram is major Sources for people to share their emotions based on the current situations in society. By knowing the interesting patterns in it, a government/appropriate person for that situation can take good and useful decisions. Sentiment analysis is a method where people can extract the useful information from the text like the emotions (happy, sad, and neutral) of people. Much research work was been underdoing in the area of sentiment analysis. Among that work the Machine learning and Deep learning approaches plays a maximum role. Existing works on sentiment analysis is going in the English language. In this paper, proposed a novel framework that specifically designed to do sentiment analysis of the text data, that available in the telugu language. The proposed framework was integrated with the word embedding model Word2Vec, language translator and deep learning approaches like Recurrent Neural Network and Navie base algorithms to collect and analyse the sentiment in tweeter data that present in telugu language. The results shows effective in terms of accuracy, precision and specificity.

AbstractThis article investigates so‐called monstrous agreement—where a non‐first‐person pronoun can control first‐person agreement on an embedded verb—in Telugu. Empirically, I provide the most in‐depth description of monstrous agreement in Telugu to date. To account for monstrous agreement, I propose that embedded pronouns have morphosyntactic features that indicate their roles in both the matrix and embedded speech acts. This means an embedded pronoun can have first‐person and third‐ or second‐person features simultaneously. I then propose a precise set of morphosyntactic operations that allow the first‐person feature to appear on the verbal agreement but not the pronoun controlling the agreement. I also show that pronouns that have these contradictory features must be bound by an operator to be licensed, and I discuss the nature of these operators and the locality conditions on the binding relationship. The theoretical consequence of this article is that apparently contradictory feature combinations on pronominal elements must be sanctioned by UG.

In 2008, actor Chiranjeevi founded the political party Praja Rajyam (People's Rule) and carried the emotional style of the compassionate angry man from the silver screen onto the electoral platform of the South Indian state Andhra Pradesh. Although Chiranjeevi had secured his place as the most successful star of popular Telugu cinema through the genre of the mass film in the 1980s, the 'Megastar' failed to mobilise a majority of his fans to become his voters. The article addresses the tensions between the politics of representation on the screen and on the campaign trail by focusing on the image of Chiranjeevi as a leader figure and the feeling community that complemented his emotional style. It suggests that when the star suddenly transformed his image from an angry rebel to that of a compassionate patron, his emotional style stopped resonating with the feeling community his own films had created.

Popular Hinduism in rural India abounds with many village and domestic rituals. In the latter category, puberty, pregnancy and death rituals appear very prominent among the womenfolk of the Telugu region. Of these, the death ritual, the worship of a deceased married woman whose husband is still alive, is especially important because it exemplifies the dominant theme of these rituals honouring fertility. Though generally considered inferior to men, women in these rituals receive reverence and status elevation as either symbolic or real deities. An attempt is made in this paper to describe and analyse these recurring rituals with the help of Dumont's concepts of hierarchy, encompassing contrariness and gender complementarity. The paper also focuses on the cultural basis and the mechanisms involved in female status elevation within the overall context of male domination. Female status elevation in the rituals does not alleviate female subordination in everyday life, as the sexuality and generative power of women ultimately remain under the control of men. These rituals also reflect the social structural features of south Indian society, and the complementarity between matri- and patrifiliation.
