Abstract


‘Intergenerational language use and attitude’ refers to the way different generations within a language group take a stand towards their heritage language (HL). Immigrant families are one of the domains in which heritage language and culture are preserved and transferred to the younger generation in a different geo-political and socio-cultural context. Often, they face particular issues and challenges in supporting the intergenerational transmission of their heritage language, especially when the speech involved does not have high visibility and status in the surrounding society. This study aims to analyse the Tamil Brahmin community’s intergenerational language use and attitude in the Trivandrum district of Kerala. Variety of Tamil is the heritage language (HL) of the community and is in strong contact with Malayalam, which is the language of wider communication (LWC) in the state. The data for the study has been collected using an ethnographic research method. And, the study employed a qualitative analysis approach resorting to the ethnolinguistic vitality perception framework for analytical purposes. It is evident from the study that there is a difference in language use and attitudes in this community over generations.

DUPLICATION SELF VERTEX SWITCHING OF Pm x Pn

Prabavathy, V.

Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, Vivekananda College, Agasteeswaram, Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract


A vertex v ∈ V (G) is said to be a self vertex switching of G if G is isomorphic to Gv, where Gv is the graph obtained from G by deleting all edges of G incident to v and adding all edges incident to v which are not in G. Duplication of a vertex v of graph G produces a new graph Gby adding a new vertex vsuch that N(v) = N(v). In other words a vertex vis said to be duplication of v if all the vertices which are adjacent to v in G are also adjacent to vin G. A vertex v is called a duplication self vertex switching of a graph G if the resultant graph obtained after duplication of v has v as a self vertex switching. In this paper, we find duplication self vertex switchings of  Pm x Pn.

Keywords
