Though the book is structured around contemporary linguistic states such as Goa, Pinto argues for a focus on aspects of language that deviate from the nationalist literary norm. The present volume is structured as a long essay, interspersed with excerpts from the introductions and prefaces to transcribed/translated texts. The historically significant extracts demonstrate the shifts in perspectives with regard to transcription and translation, and reveal how what was once termed a dialect, acquired the symbolic attributes of cultural dominance necessitated by nationalist discourse.  aHistory of Translations into Konkani Kannada script  aSelected Essays  aDoutrina   aKonkani in Newsprint  aPINTO (Rochelle)  aMENEZES (Dale Luis) Ed  aMASCARENHAS (Mabel) Ed
