Differentiation in Tholkappiyam Text and the Comparison of Text

Abstract

Without variation we cannot speak and write. Language is necessary to communicate with others. Language needs words and words are made up of letters. All these together frame a sentence. So, a sentence gets its life through differentiation. There are eight such differentiations. They are I, Odu, Ku, In, Athu, Kan and Vili. The ability to express the differentiation in the text is called ‘differentiate unconsciousness’. It is about the system that differs based on the eight-differentiation mentioned above and a series of systems that are not differentiated. The differentiation in the form of difference is changed into series of differences by differentiating the differences from the active object to the spatial object. In this case, all the words that refer to the nature of an object and its displacement are considered as verbs. Thus, it is separated and isolated and that is its differentiation. This article is based on the comparison of the text materials of Tholkappiyam written by the text editors
