Concern over `pollution' of Telugu language
By Our Staff Reporter
TIRUPATI,
FEB. 25.
A. Manjulatha, Director, Telugu Academy, Hyderabad, on Friday expressed concern that mass communication media like films and TV channels were polluting Telugu by including unwanted words in it.
She was speaking at the national seminar on `Language use and development with reference to Telugu', conducted by the SV University's Linguistics Department on Friday. She said the academy was working for propagation of the language, adding that it had brought out the 17th bulletin.
Ironically most of the speakers ended with extensively using English during their address while `occasionally' interspersing it with Telugu.
Right from the banner at the entrance of the venue and the one on the dais, Telugu was not to be found anywhere. The guests too spoke on the need to extensively use Telugu in official correspondence, of course in English.
The SVU Vice-Chancellor, S. Jayarama Reddy, saw nothing wrong in including words from other languages in Telugu, comparing it to a flowing stream accepting everything into it.
