The Figurative Language : I.A.Richard

 

     I.A. Richard 's Practical criticism written in 1929.He experiments on the students to gave them poems without their title and author 's name. He gave suggestions, comments and interpretation. His criticism gave new path to litrary criticism.

      Instead of impressionistic criticism  it became factual and science. In his Matgodology a lot of importance is given to the "words".

        He believed that poet writes to communicated and language is become a way of communication. Language is made of words. A study of word is all important. If we are to understand the meaning of art.words carry four kinds of meaning :

1.Sense : The items reffred by a writer.

2.Feelings : Feeling refers to emotions. Emotional attitude, will, attitude, desire, pleasure, displeasure.

3.Tone: Tone is writers attitude to his readers or audience.

4.Intention : It is writers aim which may be conscious or unconscious. It refres to the effect that he tries to produced.

● Two use of language:

1. Scientific use

2. Emotive use

   In this scientific use of language is usually matter of fact. All the activies covers by this use require undistorted references and absence of fiction. In this use of language true or false. This reference should be correct and logical.

    In this emotive language truth and logical argument not necessary. In this referential use of language by butterfly or cloud etc.

● Four types of misunderstanding :

1) Misunderstanding of sense of poetry  (careless, intuitive reading )
2) Over -literal reading -Prosaic reading.
3) Defective scholarship - inappropriate metaphor
4) Difference in meaning of words in prose and poetry.

तेनू कला चश्मा जाच दा आए
जचड़ा आए गोरे मुखड़े ते
तेनू कला चश्मा जाच दा आए
जचड़ा एह गोरे मुखड़े ते

सड़को पे चले
जब लड़कों के दिलों में
तू आग लगा दे बेबी फिरे
नकली सी नखरे तू करें
जब देखे हूमें झूती लाइयर!

कला कला चश्मा जज्दा तेरे मुखड़े पे
जैसा कला तिल जचता है तेरे चीन पे
अपनी अदाओं से ज़्यादा नही तो
दस बारे लड़के तो
मार ही देती होगी दिन में

तुझ जैसे छातिस फिरते है
मेरे वरगी और ना होनी वे
वरगी और ना होनी वे

तू मुंडा बिलखुल देसी है
मैं कटरीना तो सोहनी वे

हाए मैं फेड उप हो गया मुंडेया 2
सुन्न सुन्न के तेरे दुख दे वे

मैनउ कला चश्मा
हो मैनउ कला कला कला..
हो मैनउ कला चश्मा जज्ता आए
जाच दा है गोरे मुखड़े ते
मैनउ कला चश्मा जज्ता आए
जाच दा है गोरे मुखड़े ते

 सडको पे चले
जब लड़कों के दिलों में
तू आग लगा दे बेबी फिरे

ओ मैनउ ओ मैनउ..
नकली सी नखरे तू करें
जब देखे हूमें झूती लाइयर

हो मैनउ कला चश्मा
ओ मैनउ कला काला चश्मा
आए कला चाछमा
ओ कला कला कला कला..

कला चश्मा जाच दा आए
जचड़ा आए गोरे मुखड़े ते
तेनू कला चस्मा जाच दा आए
जचड़ा आए गोरे मुखड़े ते

मैनउ कला चश्मा जाच दा आए
जचड़ा आए गोरे मुखड़े ते
तेनू कला चस्मा जाच दा आए
जचड़ा आए गोरे मुखड़े ते
 
 ● Misunderstanding in the language :
         
        So in this song lover talking about his beloved beauty. Lover says that the balck glasses is looking nice on her face.But it is not true that black glasses only looking nice on fair face. In this lover compare the  mole which is on her face is like stain on the Moon. So he compare mole with stain and Moon with her beautiful face.

       In the line "सडको पे चले जब लड़कों के दिलों में
तू आग लगा दे " So in this line talking about that she puts boys hearts on fire. So how it can be possible that she can put fire on the boys heart. It is impossible thing.

     In the next lines " अपनी अदाओं से ज़्यादा नही तो
दस बारे लड़के तो मार ही देती होगी दिन में ". In this talking about that with her style she must kill at least 10 or 12 boys in a day. It is so ridicules how it can be possible that girl kills 10 or 12 boys in a day with her style.
 
      So this thing make us to  misunderstanding the song. With the non believeable thing like put fire on hearts and killing boys with her style. So it is meaningless and useless song. It is only entertainment at all.
