1. Does Aristotle’s schema of the elements of tragedy have any relevance today? Comment. 

               Most of theories about art and theatre have taken place from the place from the Aristotelian classification of elements of tragedy, even modernist picks up few points from it. This makes Aristotelian scheme of elements of tragedy an important aspect in the understanding of modern theatre and by extension art. The Six Elements of Tragedy: Although we are going to look at all the six elements of tragedy separately, but one thing should be noted that these elements act like a unity when on the stage and that the separate looking is only for the sake of analysis. WhenAristotle talks about them classifying into internal and external, then also it is only for the sake of  convenience in analyzing  it. Another thing should be  noted about these elements  that they are  not as obvious as visual  auditory content of  theatre, and also  that none of these  elements is more  important than other. People often take myth as more important for Aristotle calls it as ‘soul of tragedy’, but it is not the case

Longinus' theory of the Sublime

MEG – 05: Literary Criticism & Theory ASSIGNMENT 2017 - 2018

1. Comment of Longinus' theory of the Sublime 

        Longinus critically praises and blames literary works as examples of good or bad styles of writing. Longinus ultimately promotes an “elevation of style” and an essence of “simplicity”. Longinus describes it thus, “the first and most important source  of sublimity [is]  the power of  forming great conceptions.” The  concept of the  sublime is generally accepted to refer to a style of writing that elevates itself “above the ordinary”. Finally, Longinus sets out five sources of sublimity: great thoughts, strong emotions, certain figures of thought and speech, noble diction, and dignified word arrangement. Not all of the medieval scholars agreed with Boethius who was known for his disdain for poetry and which was the result of the medieval theology  and philosophy. One such scholar would be Thomas Aquinas, who  was also a great critic and whose ideas influenced scholars like Dante Alighieri.

4. What is a standard language? Discuss in detail the process of language standardization.

A standard language may be defined either as a language variety used by a population for public purposes or as a variety that has undergone standardization. Typically, varieties that become standardized are the local dialects spoken in the centers of commerce and government, where a need arises for a variety that will serve more than local needs. Standardization typically involves a fixed orthography, codification in authoritative grammars and dictionaries and public acceptance of these standards.

There are five minor processes which are used in English for coining new words; back formation, reduplication, blending, clipping and acronym-formation

Back formation

Back formation reverses the normal process of word-formation by affixation. It creates new words by dropping, instead of adding, affixes. For example, beg, burgle, edit, hawk, peddle and a host of other verbs which are historically derived from nouns of a particular type.
