Tholkappiyar's Latent Theory and Eighteen Lesser Texts

Abstract

The Tamil language is divided into two dialects, the world dialect and the poetic dialect. All the words in this language have meanings. The subject will be explicit and specific. A series is made up of words. The phrase does not stand at its own point but expresses a different meaning. There is a lot of positive meaning in this way. They are referential interpretation in fewer places. Words and phrases convey meaning both at the internal and external levels. When it expresses external views, it is called referential and referential. In the case of the subject, the object of reference is indicated by two technical terms, latent and meat. Both are specific to internal songs. Scholars interpret these by citing the internal poems of the Sangam literature. Like the Sangam literature, the internal literature of the post-Sangam period occupies a special place. They are based on Kurinji and other tinais. This article is intended to examine the meaning of the poems from the point of view of the latent theories of Tolkappiar.
