Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of linguistic determinism and multilingualism in Chetan Bhagat’s One Arranged Murder, a novel set in the multicultural landscape of contemporary India. Drawing on the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, it examines how the integration of Punjabi and Hindi within an English narrative shapes character development, cultural authenticity, and the representation of Indian multilingual identity. Bhagat’s use of vernacular terms, food references, and kinship expressions reflects the sociolinguistic diversity of India and enriches the narrative with cultural nuance. Code-mixing and grammatical adaptations, such as English plural markers applied to Hindi-origin words, illustrate the dynamic interplay of language and identity in urban, multilingual contexts. The paper analyses dialogues, cultural practices, and kinship terms to demonstrate how linguistic choices influence thought processes and interpersonal dynamics. By highlighting the narrative potential of multilingualism, this study underscores the role of language as a powerful tool for reflecting the complexities of a diverse society.Keywords: Linguistic Determinism, Multilingualism, Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, Indian English Literature, Cultural Identity

Abstract

In this study, we analysed the social class conflict from the character statement and situation in the film. We analysed 2 problems; they are: (1) What type of class does each character include in the film according to social class conflict theory? (2) What causes the occurrence of conflict between social classes in the film according to social class conflict theory? The 2019 film Parasite was directed by Bong Joon-ho, who also co-wrote and co-produced it alongside Han Jin-won. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method combined with a sociological approach. Based on the findings, there are 3 types of social class, the lower class, the middle class, and the upper class. There are 4 characters for the lower class, 1 character for the middle class, and 2 characters for the upper class. The dynamics of each class are constantly overlapping and lead to issues such as the emergence of various conflicts. Each of the conflicts arises from the class differences among the characters in the film. The emergencies of the conflicts are varied, ranging from: conflict involving social positions, conflict of interest, and conflict of role.
