Tamil: A Family of Languages Harold Schiffman South Asia Studies University of Pennsylvania 2011 INFITT Conference

Tamil: an ancient language • One of the oldest languages in India • Generally thought of as existing in three stages: • Sangam Tamil (from the earliest period two millenia ago • Medieval Tamil • Modern Literary Tamil, last codified in the 13th century • But what about modern spoken Tamil?

Tamil is difficult to access • Spoken Tamil is not valued by Tamil society • Foreigners are not encouraged to learn it • But if they don’t learn it, they lack access to much of what goes on in Tamil society in everyday language use • Those who do try to learn spoken are discouraged: • They are scolded for using it and ‘corrupting’ the language • They are ‘corrected’ by being given the Literary Tamil form • They are laughed at for their attempts to speak

Examples: • Scolding: In 1965-66 when I was trying to do research on spoken Tamil in Tamilnadu, a delegation of DMK students visited me and begged me to cease doing my research because I was corrupting the language • Ridicule: In 1994 when I was studying how Tamil is taught in Singapore, I went through customs and seeing that the agent had a Tamil name, spoke to her in Tamil. • Her response: You sound just like my Granny!

What do other languages do? • English also has a centuries-old history which is divided into three stages: • Old English, dating from 800 CE or earlier, with works such as Beowulf. • Middle English, from around the 11th century, lasting until about 1600, with famous works by Chaucer • Modern English, from 1600 onward—from Shakespeare up to the modern period.

Beowulf, page 1 • Do we expect students to be able to read this without a translation?

Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales: • Heerebigynneth the Knyghtes Tale •        Whilom, as olde stories tellen us, Ther was a duc that highteTheseus; Of Atthenes he was lord and governour, And in his tymeswich a conquerour, That gretter was ther noon under the sonne. Ful many a riche contreehadde he wonne, What with his wysdom and his chivalrie; He conquered al the regne of Femenye, That whilom was ycleped Scithia, And weddede the queeneYpolita, And broghtehirhoom with hym in his contree, With muchelglorie and greet solempnytee, And eek hiryongesusterEmelye.

Do we expect all English learners to be able to read Beowulf and Chaucer? • When I was in high school, we read Beowulf, but in a modern translation. • Chaucer is also difficult to read in the original, so it’s also read in translation • Even Shakespeare can be difficult to understand—when I am scheduled to attend a Shakespeare play I read it in advance to get an idea of what I will hear

The study of Language Loyalty • After my first year in Tamilnadu I was often asked what it was like being with all those ‘fanatical’ Tamils • I had arrived in Tamilnadu after there were language ‘riots’ over the issue of Hindi and the ‘national language’ • Universities had been closed and some lives had been lost in the turmoil • I began to look at work in the subdiscipline of the Sociology of Language and what researchers said about how to manage language policy.

Language policy • Fishman, Ferguson, Haugen, Hymes, and many others had written about language policy and after some study, I decided to offer a course on this subject • This soon became my main research interest, along with my interest in Tamil language and structure • Having spent some time in the Soviet Union, and having lived in France, I could see different ways that nations and peoples handle the issue of their language loyalty, and how linguistic minorities can be encouraged to thrive.

What keeps a language alive? • Many of the researchers on language vitality make the point that languages will survive if they are transferred intergenerationally. • This means they must be learned at home and thus no matter what language is taught at school, the home must be the refuge for the language. • For Tamils, the language of the home is peeccu Tamil, but very little is done to strengthen it and buttress it • All the effort goes into teaching literacy in Literary Tamil, but sometimes children may not acquire spoken Tamil at home—English may predominate.

What is the mother tongue? • In Linguistics we believe that the language learned before the age of 6 is the ‘mother tongue’ and any form of the language or other language learned is actually a second language. • Since spoken Tamil and Literary Tamil are very different, spoken Tamil tends to be treated as something to be ignored or even eliminated • Literary Tamil gets all the attention, while spoken Tamil more and more is ignored.

The case of Singapore • Singapore is a good example of how spoken Tamil is given little support, while students of Tamil background are required to learn Literary Tamil in order to pass Cambridge O-Level exams • Singapore until recently treated spoken languages as a handicap—something to be destroyed if possible, and replaced by Literary Tamil • But instead what happened was that students abandoned Tamil completely—English replaced spoken Tamil, and Literary Tamil was learned as if it was a ‘dead’ language.

This is now changing • The work of various Singapore Tamil linguists such as Gopinathan, Seethalakshmi, and Saravanan has turned the tide and now efforts are being made to support spoken Tamil as a ‘resource’ instead of a handicap. • This approach needs to be instituted in Tamilnadu as well, since more and more, young Tamils who are educated in English medium are replacing Tamil with English and becoming English speakers almost exclusively.

Example of a resource: the formation of relative clauses • In my 30 years experience of teaching Tamil to Americans and other non-Tamils, I found that students hit a kind of ‘sound-barrier’ when it came to the formation of Tamil relative clauses. • What is a relative clause? Two sentences can be joined into one with the other becoming a relative clause • 1. That boy came yesterday. • 2. I saw the boy. • 3.→I saw the boy WHO/THAT came yesterday.

Spoken Tamil relative clauses: • 1. neettupayyanvandaan • 2. naanandapayyanepaatteen • 3. → naan [neettuvandapayyane] paatteen • Tamil does not have relative clause markers using ‘which, what’ etc. but instead embeds one sentence before the other, and turns a verb (vandaan) into an adjective: vanda

This pattern closely replicates what happens in Literary Tamil • 1. நான் பய்யனைப் பாரத்தேன் • 2. பய்யன் நேற்று வந்தான் • 3. → நான் நேற்று வந்தப் பய்யனைப் பாரத்தேன் • What I noticed about my students is that those who came from a Tamil background with spoken Tamil used in the home easily learned the LT form • Those who did not speak Tamil at home, like the other Americans in the class, got stuck on this structure. • They found it a tremendous barrier to overcome, and most did not overcome it.

In other words… • Spoken Tamil is a resource that can help Tamils to learn Literary Tamil • It should not be annihilated, but should be celebrated • It needs to be kept alive in the home so that it can be a resource, and it needs to be given other domains that it can be used in. • If not, English (not Hindi!) will take over, and Tamil will gradually be lost.

Simple presentation background ideas: elevate your visuals with minimalistic designs

Get your team on prezi – watch this on demand video.

Anete Ezera August 29, 2024

When you’re putting together a presentation, the background you select is key in setting the mood and making sure your content shines. While there are many different good presentation backgrounds that are bright and colorful, there’s a rising preference for simple presentation backgrounds. These clean designs can boost your message by minimizing distractions and making sure your content takes centre stage.

In this article, we’ll delve into the advantages of using simple presentation backgrounds, specific scenarios where they shine, and how platforms like Prezi can elevate your presentations with their open canvas and dynamic tools.

The power of a simple presentation background

Choosing a backdrop for your presentation goes beyond selecting a color or a basic layout. It involves setting up an uncluttered environment that highlights your message effectively. Let’s explore the reasons why opting for a simple presentation background can improve your message.

Improved readability

A key advantage of using a simple presentation background is the readability it offers. Complicated or excessively intricate backgrounds can make the text challenging to read, leading your viewers struggling to comprehend your message. Conversely, a simplistic background guarantees that your text is easily readable, allowing your audience to concentrate on your content.

Reduced distractions

Having a simple presentation background can minimize distractions for your audience, which is crucial when sharing intricate details or holding their attention for a long time. Opting for a simple aesthetic background for presentation slides directs the focus toward the speaker and the content rather than on the background itself. 

Versatility

Simple presentation backgrounds offer flexibility. They can be customized to suit various presentation topics. Whether you’re showcasing a business pitch, a school assignment or an imaginative idea, a clean background can serve as the perfect backdrop for your material.

Timeless appeal

Trends in design come and go, but simplicity is timeless. A simple background for presentation slides ensures that your presentation won’t look outdated in a few months. It also conveys professionalism and can be tailored to fit any industry or topic.

What is the best background for a presentation? 

When preparing a presentation, it’s best to opt for a background that’s straightforward, neat and doesn’t draw much attention. Opting for colors such as light grey or gentle blue is recommended as they offer a nice contrast with the text. It’s advisable to steer clear of designs or vibrant colors that may overshadow the content.

In case you decide to include images, make sure they’re subtle and relevant to the subject matter. Consistency plays a role here, so stick to the same background style across all slides to maintain a polished and coherent appearance.

Specific use cases for simple presentation backgrounds

Simple presentation backgrounds are suitable for a wide range of scenarios. Here are some specific instances where a minimalistic background works best:

Business presentations

In a corporate setting, professionalism is key. A simple, clean background helps maintain a professional tone and ensures that your data, graphs, and key points are easily readable.

For example, using a soft, neutral-toned background like this empty brown-beige studio room background can create a warm, welcoming atmosphere without distracting from the content.

Educational presentations

When students have to explain ideas, it’s important to keep things clear and straightforward. Using a simple background for presentations can make it easier for the audience to concentrate on the educational points without distractions.

A background with subtle textures, such as this simplistic aerial shot above Lake Dumbleyung, can provide a serene backdrop that doesn’t compete with the information being presented.

Creative and design presentations

When presenting creative work, such as design concepts or artistic projects, the background should complement rather than overshadow the content. A simple presentation background allows your creative elements to take center stage.

Consider using an abstract but subtle design like this abstract lights on a dark green background to add a touch of creativity without overwhelming your visuals.

Personal and inspirational presentations

Personal stories or inspirational talks benefit from backgrounds that evoke emotion without being overly complex. A minimalistic background with a hint of nature, like this colorful clouds at sunset, can create a peaceful and reflective atmosphere.

Product or service showcases

When showcasing a product or service, a simple presentation background can help highlight the subject without competing for attention.

For example, a rendering product background with a clean, neutral design is ideal for presentations focused on product demonstrations, allowing the product itself to be the star of the show. This type of background is especially useful in marketing presentations where the goal is to create a clear and compelling visual representation of the product.

Science and nature-themed presentations

For presentations centered around scientific concepts or natural phenomena, a background that subtly reflects the theme can be very effective.

The soft-focused image of steam provides a simple yet evocative backdrop that can complement discussions on topics such as geology, environmental science, or even metaphorical concepts like transformation and change. This type of background adds depth to your presentation without overwhelming the content.

Youthful and creative presentations

For presentations aimed at younger audiences or those with a creative edge, a playful and vibrant background can help set the tone. This single paper airplane on a yellow background offers a whimsical yet simple design that’s perfect for educational, inspirational, or creative projects.

This type of background is particularly effective in presentations for students, where the goal is to engage and inspire while keeping the design straightforward and accessible.

Technology and innovation presentations

For presentations focused on technology, innovation, or data-driven topics, a background that subtly suggests complexity while remaining visually clean can be very effective.

This abstract background with dots is an excellent choice for such presentations. The modern and sleek design, suggests connections to networks, systems and digital technology. This makes it ideal for discussing AI, networking, or futuristic advancements. The background brings a contemporary tech vibe to your presentation while keeping things simple and clear, ensuring your message stays prominent.

Leveraging Prezi for dynamic presentations

Prezi is a tool that distinguishes itself from slide-based presentations by providing a flexible canvas method. This special feature enables you to craft engaging presentations where the background contributes significantly to shaping the story.

Open canvas for creative freedom

Unlike traditional presentations where each slide is a separate entity, Prezi allows you to work with an open canvas . This means the background isn’t merely a fixed element but an essential component of the narrative. You have the freedom to navigate the canvas crafting a cohesive storytelling journey.

Dynamic panning and zooming for engaging storytelling

One remarkable aspect of Prezi is its panning and zooming feature. In contrast to slide-based presentations, where transitions occur from one slide to another, Prezi allows for navigation across the canvas. You can zoom in on details, and then pan out to reveal the broader context, transforming your presentation into an engaging storytelling experience . This interactive journey lets you evolve the background as you lead your audience through layers of information. The panning and zooming effects not only enhance appeal but also highlight important points and foster a more immersive experience for your viewers.

Simple presentation backgrounds in Prezi templates

Prezi offers a variety of templates that incorporate simple presentation backgrounds , making it easy to get started with a minimalistic design. For instance, the Modular Dark AI-Assisted template uses a sleek, dark background that’s perfect for professional and technical presentations.

The Research Project Light template offers a clean, light background that’s ideal for academic and educational presentations.

With Prezi, you’re not limited to the backgrounds provided within the platform. You can experiment with your own images to create a unique and personalized presentation. The limitless canvas allows you to place and move elements in a way that’s visually appealing and tailored to your specific needs.

Professional and medical presentations

This template features a clean, minimalistic background that reflects the seriousness and professionalism required in medical presentations. The light background ensures that important medical data, charts, and images are presented clearly, making it easier for the audience to focus on the critical information being conveyed.

Effective onboarding and training

When creating onboarding presentations or training sessions, it’s important to use a background that’s both engaging and non-distracting. Prezi’s Employee Onboarding AI-Assisted template is designed to facilitate effective learning by combining a simple presentation background with interactive elements.

The minimalistic design helps keep the focus on the training content, making it easier for new employees to absorb the information without being overwhelmed by visual clutter.

How to change the background in Powerpoint

You can change the background to anything you like if you're using Powerpoint to create presentations: a picture, a color, a gradient, or even an in-motion video. You'll know the best background for your presentation, but whatever you want to change it to, we're here to help you do it.

How to change the background to a color or gradient

How to add a picture to the background, how to add a video to the background.

Here's how to change the background in Powerpoint to a few different styles.

What You Need

Don't have Powerpoint installed already? Here's how to download it.

Beyond an empty background, the most simple background you can add to your Powerpoint presentation is a flat color, or a gradient from one color to another. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Open your Powerpoint document and select the slide that you want to change the background for, on the left-hand side. In this example, we're using the standard template for an architectural pitch presentation.

Step 2: Select Design in the top-menu bar.

Step 3: Select Format Background in the top right.

Step 4: From the menu that appears, select either Solid fill or Gradient fill depending on your needs.

Step 5: If you want a solid color, select the paint can icon and choose your color preference. You can select from a range of curated color options, select More colors for a greater array of options, or use the Eyedropper tool to grab a color from the presentation to use for your background.

You can also adjust the transparency using the slider, to fade the color in and out.

If you want a gradient from one color to another, you can select a Preset gradient between two colors — but you can also fine-tune it using the Gradient stops options to control the number and type of color changes within the gradient. You can also adjust the position, transparency, direction, and brightness of the colors and the gradient itself.

Step 6: Play around with the option until you're happy. If you want to start again at any point, select the Reset background button at the bottom of the Format Background menu.

When you're happy with the result, just close the menu down by selecting the X icon in the top-right corner of the Format Background menu. Alternatively, if you want to apply that gradient or solid-color background to every slide, select the Apply to all button at the bottom of the window.

Would you rather make an image the background for your presentation's slide(s)? You can do that too.

Step 1: Select the slide that you want to change the background for, on the left-hand side. Then select Format Background in the top-right.

Step 2: Select Picture or texture fill .

Step 3: If you want to use a texture for the background, select the box next to Texture and choose the texture you want for the background from the pop-out window.

Step 4: If you want to use an image, select the Insert button under the "Picture source" subheading. Then decide where you want to source the image from.

Step 5: Select From a file if you want to use a local image file, then choose it using the file explorer and select Open . If you'd rather source it online, stock images, or the stack of pre-installed logos, select those and follow the on-screen instructions to introduce the image.

Step 6: If you want the image or texture to appear in the background of all slides, select the Apply to all slides button at the bottom right of the screen.

You can embed a video in a PowerPoint presentation , but if you want to really spice up a slide, why not change the entire background to a video? Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Select Insert followed by Video . Choose whether you want to add a video from your local device or an online source. If the former, select it from the file explorer and select Open . If it's online, paste the URL and select Insert .

In this example, I'm using a clip from the 1988 sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf .

Step 2: Use your mouse to drag and move the video so that it covers the portion of the slide that you want it to play on (or the whole thing). You can resize it too, using the corner controls by clicking and dragging.

Step 3: Right-click the video and select Send to back .

You can also take this opportunity to use the built-in controls to trim the video if it needs it, choose when you want it to start (automatically, or when clicked on), and its style — whether you want it to appear at an angle or with a fade around it.

Step 4: When you're happy with the video's implementation, select Slideshow at the top, then select either From beginning or From current slide in the top left to check out the presentation to make sure the video is working correctly.

If it's not in the right position, starts at the wrong point, or isn't formatted how you'd like it, use the right-click controls on the video to make your adjustments.

Now that you've become a master of Powerpoint backgrounds, how about playing around with the new Copilot features? Here are five of the best things you can do with Copilot Pro right now.
