Women have no honour of their own: Conceptualisations of honor in Indian English and Pakistani English
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Tidsskriftartikel › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
This paper presents a corpus-based Cultural-Linguistic study of the usage of the word honour in Pakistani and Indian Englishes, addressing underlying cultural conceptualisations of the notion of honour. Honour emerges as a complex cultural model which involves several cultural schemas, cultural categories and cultural metaphors, in which women are cast as responsible pro-tectors and upholders of the honour of men, families, and communities, their bodies being the very locus of men’s honour. The study is based on relatively simple qualitative and quantitative analysis of two specialized corpora representing discourse on honour and related phenomena in Pakistani and Indian Englishes
