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.

Although existing critical literature focuses on various aspects of paralysis in the short stories of Dubliners, there has not been much exploration…

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…
