Abstract :
সৈয়দ শামসুল হক একজন ইতিহাসচেতনাঋদ্ধ সাহিত্যিক। ইতিহাসের নীল পরিমÐলে যখন তিনি অভিযাত্রী হন তখন আমাদের চোখের সামনে ভেসে ওঠে ‘বাংলার আলপথ’, ‘পলিমাটি’, ‘সওদাগরের ডিঙার বহর’, ‘কৈবর্তের বিদ্রোহী গ্রাম’, ‘তিতুমীর, হাজী শরীয়ত, ক্ষুদিরাম, সূর্যসেন, নূরলদীন, বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমান’, ‘রাষ্ট্রভাষার লাল রাজপথ’, ‘একাত্তরের মুক্তিযুদ্ধ’। আত্মপরিচয় অনুসন্ধিৎসু ব্যক্তিমাত্রই জানেন ইতিহাসের অতল গহŸরে ডুব না দিয়ে শিকড়ের মূলোৎপাটন করা যায় না। কেননা নিজকে জানার, জাতিকে চেনার অন্যতম মাধ্যমই হচ্ছে ইতিহাস। তাই ইতিহাসের কণ্টকাকীর্ণ পথ না মাড়িয়ে সত্যকে যেমন উদ্ঘাটন করা যায় না তেমনি…

James Joyce’s Eveline: A Victim of Transgenerational Trauma
Corresponding Author : Talukdar Mohammad Misbah Uddin (misbah.eng.uddin@gmail.com)
Abstract : Eveline is a young woman who does not have any traumatic experience herself but shows the symptoms and crises of a trauma victim. The short story does not present any evidence that Eveline was abused in her childhood, but the inactions and dissociations she exhibits in the text indicate that her inactions are the result of a trauma. Although existing critical literature focuses on various aspects of paralysis in the short stories of Dubliners, there has not been much exploration…

Corresponding Author : Dr. Md. Zafir Uddin (zafirsetu@gmail.com)
Abstract : বাংলা ভাষার স্বতন্ত্র বৈশিষ্ট্যপূর্ণ উপভাষা হিসেবে সিলেটের উপভাষার স্বীকৃতি বিশশতকের সূচনালগ্ন থেকেই। সিলেটের উপভাষা ‘সিলেটি’ নামেই সর্বত্র পরিচিত। এই উপভাষার স্বাতন্ত্র্য যেমন আঞ্চলিক রূপে, তেমনি উচ্চারণগত পার্থক্যে, ধ্বনি শব্দ বাক্যে ও বিশিষ্টার্থক প্রয়োগেও। ঔপভাষিক স্বাতন্ত্র্য ছাড়া আরও কিছু বৈচিত্র্য ও বিশেষত্ব সিলেটের উপভাষায় পরিদৃষ্ট হয়। এর মধ্যে একটি হচ্ছে উপআঞ্চলিক রূপভেদ। অর্থাৎ, অঞ্চলভেদে সিলেটের উপভাষার রূপভেদ লক্ষযোগ্য একটি বৈশিষ্ট্য। এছাড়াও উপভাষাটির নাগরিক রূপের সঙ্গে রয়েছে গ্রামীণ রূপের বিস্তর ফারাক। সামাজিক স্তরবিন্যাস তথা বর্ণ, ধর্ম, লিঙ্গ, বয়স ও সম্প্রদায় ইত্যাদি ভেদেও…
