1) Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:

One of the most important differences in emphasis between the syntagmatic and paradigmatic brands of structural analysis
has been the concern or lack of concern with context. Propp’s syntagmatic approach has unfortunately dealt with the
structure of text alone, just as literary folklorists generally have considered the text in isolation from its social and cultural
context. In this sense, pure formalistic structural analysis is probably every bit as sterile as motif‐hunting and word‐counting.
In contrast, Levi‐Strauss has bravely attempted to relate the paradigm(s) he “finds” in myth to the world at large, that is,
to other aspects of culture such as cosmology and world view. It is in this light that Lévi‐Strauss’ approach has helped lead
to the new notion of myth (and other forms of folklore) as models. (Note that Malinowski’s basically diachronic conception of
myth as charter [set back in primeval time] has had to be updated to include a more synchronic conception of myth as
model. The intellectual shift from “myth as charter” to “myth as model” is surely one significant consequence of synchronic
structural analysis.) However, the emphasis upon context is rather one of application of the results of structural analysis
than one inherent in the paradigmatic approach. The problem is that Propp made no attempt to relate his extraordinary
morphology to Russian (or Indo‐European) culture as a whole.

The major difference between syntagmatic and paradigmatic structural analysis is

(1) Presence or absence of textual analysis

1) Read the given passage and answer the question that follow.

Russian structuralist studies fall into three major categories: linguistics, poetics and the typology of cultures. These
categories overlap; one can even argue that the last one includes the other two. The division, however, seems useful for
practical purposes.

Structuralism in linguistics began to develop vigorously after 1955, when com​puter translations were first tried in Russia.

The majority of Russian structuralists are linguists by training (in contrast to Western structuralists, many of whom have
diverse professional backgrounds, from philosophy to anthro​pology and music). Works in linguistics are not of great interest
to the general read​er; they rely heavily on mathematics and require familiarity with a highly special​ized terminology. Some
of the language modelling that the linguists do, however, borders on the semiotics of culture. Examples of this are
mentioned below.

Poetics is a significant part of Russian structuralism. It has formalist inspiration (although the complexity and sophistication of
some present‐day formulations make certain formalist statements sound rather crude) and, like linguistics, it occasionally
relies on mathematics (e.g., Kolmogorov’s studies of contemporary free verse and of the rhythmic structures favored by
certain poets and epochs).’ Poetics has also offered a redefinition of such basic terms as “the literary work” and “the
literary device.” In the interpretation of Russian theorists, the literary work is not limited to the written text: it comprises
the connections of this text with the world outside. In particular, it includes the “negative elements of structure,” i.e.,
those elements which signify by means of their conspicuous absence.

India is one of the world’s largest repositories of music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, songs, performing arts, rites and
rituals, paintings and writings that are known, collectively as ‘‘Intangible Cultural Hertiage’’. India’s cultural heritage is a
source of inspiration to people everywhere. India’s century old cultural exchanges with South East Asia continue to inspire
people‐to‐people relationships. There is a visible impact of the Indian heritage on the scriptures and the way of life of the
people of the Mekong region. There is deep conviction about the Buddhist traits of humility, gentleness, justice and charity.
There are many similarities in languages of the region and Sanskrit. The Panchtantra and Jataka tales are narrated with
great enthusiasm and are part of folklore. The Ramayan culture is visible all across South East Asia.

The common culture binding India with South East Asian Countries apart from Buddhism is the great epic of Ramayana.
Angkor Wat has the great Ramayana Panel depicting the battle between Vanaras and the Asuras. SAARC remains an
important component of India’s cultural diplomacy representing multilateralism and people to people contacts. People to
people exchanges are being promoted amongst the BRICS countries with the BRICS Culture Ministers meetings laying down
the road map for collaboration. Cultural exchanges amongst the Member Nations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is
also being actively promoted in the fields of tourism, education, science, archeology, music, dance and yoga.

India’s soft power status varies with the regions. In South East Asia, Buddhism links India to the people of the region.

In the Indian Ocean countries, Project Mausam (the monsoon) linked the people to common traits. There are several new
links that have emerged – cricket ties with Australia and South Africa represented by Cricket connects exhibitions. The
theoretical framework for the formulation of India’s soft power status is best represented in the Government’s new ideas –
Digital India, Business Promtion, Yoga Diplomacy.

UNESCO has also focused on building Peace through Cultural Diplomacy. The influence of – Mahatma Gandhi. Nelson Mandela
