اردو کی تحریری اور زبانی زبان میں ثقافتی فرق: ایک موازنہ مطالعہ

Abstract

This article explores the cultural differences between written and spoken Urdu, focusing on the factors that shape their distinct forms, use, and meaning. Written Urdu, influenced by classical literature, formal education, and linguistic conventions, contrasts sharply with spoken Urdu, which varies significantly across regions and social contexts. The study delves into how these differences manifest in daily communication, literature, media, and education, emphasizing the role of culture in shaping language. Additionally, it compares the stylistic, syntactic, and pragmatic aspects of spoken and written Urdu, examining how speakers and writers adjust their language according to the context and audience. The research also highlights the role of code-switching, sociolinguistic factors, and power dynamics in shaping the differences between the two forms of language. Finally, the article discusses the implications of these cultural variations for language policy, teaching, and communication in Pakistan.
