Comparative Discourses on Language variation: A Study on Prostitutes in the Novels of Indo-Pak

Abstract

The focus of this research is the inspection and dissection of the discourses adopted by different genders to portray the marginalized women, in their novels. It will expose the writers’ attitudes towards such females, particularly in the Patriarchal society of Indo-Pakistan. Literature is considered to be an echo of life, so it should present a clear reflection of society. Each writer has peculiar lens to observe various social aspects and thus has different representative styles and specific textual material. It can be more diverse while writing about the looked down upon characters belonging to the outcast segment of society i.e. the prostitutes. The difference in gender may give rise to a different social opinion about fallen women. On the other hand, the society of Indo-Pakistan has some antagonistic points of view as compared to other societies because of the patriarchal order. This research will examine the particular difference of social ideas about the social perception of prostitutes. So, when different writers paint the fallen women personages, what type of language they use? What would be the selective tools and thoughts behind presenting them? How they paint a whore? The foundational framework for this research is based on the paradigm of critical analysis into the downgraded characters. This research is purely qualitative using the constant comparative procedures of qualitative inquiry.
