Emerging Trends in Languages

Steganography hides the fact that a communication exists rather than merely safeguarding its content. Text is the most challenging of all steganographic media because it contains the least redundancy and is the most sensitive to changes. Devanagari script, with its conjunct consonants, ligatures, matras, and non-linear glyph construction, makes these difficulties even harder, rendering rendering-dependent and OCR- based steganographic methods largely ineffective.

Large Language Models can generate fluent, contextually appropriate text across a range of NLP tasks, but they frequently produce outputs that are factually wrong while sounding confident and plausible. This problem, referred to as hallucination, poses serious risks in domains where accuracy matters. We propose a post-processing framework that detects hallucinated responses by comparing them against verified reference text using sentence embeddings.

This paper offers a smarter system of automatic evaluation of descriptive responses in educational tests. The time-consuming aspect of testing with traditional manual marking, the subjectivity of that process, and the impossibility of scaling it makes it inapplicable, particularly to large academic environments. To resolve the issues, the proposed solution combines the methods of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and hybrid image-text processing on the responses of handwriting and typed answers.

Emile Habiby’s the Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist (1974) presents one of the most innovative and politically complex literary responses to the Palestinian Nakba and its enduring consequences. Through a distinctive fusion of satire, irony, absurdity, political allegory, and fragmented narration, Habiby departs from conventional representations of trauma and resistance. Rather than portraying Palestinian survival as a heroic or triumphant process of recovery, the novel presents survival as an unstable and deeply contradictory condition marked by psychological fragmentation, moral compromise, historical displacement, and persistent uncertainty. Saeed’s paradoxical identity as a “pessoptimist” embodies the dilemmas of Palestinians who remained within the borders of the newly established Israeli state and were compelled to negotiate systems of surveillance, coercion, and political domination.

This article examines the significance of sound and silence in the fiction of Chinua Achebe, arguing that auditory experience functions as a crucial medium through which cultural memory, identity, and resistance are represented. Although Achebe’s novels have been extensively studied in relation to colonialism, nationalism, and language politics, comparatively little attention has been paid to their acoustic dimensions. Drawing on postcolonial theory, oral tradition studies, and cultural memory studies, this paper investigates how Achebe employs drums, songs, proverbs, ritual speech, storytelling, and communal dialogue to preserve indigenous Igbo knowledge systems. At the same time, silence emerges as a powerful narrative device that reflects alienation, psychological conflict, cultural fragmentation, and the disruptive consequences of colonial modernity.

English literature context has been changed significantly with modernisation of the digital age that is creating a massive impact on creation, dissemination, and interpretation of literature. When one considers the relationship between literature and digital innovation, one may summarize these disruptive forces as both a challenge to and opportunity for literature — a hybridization of past forms. It explores how digital technologies have transformed reading practices, textual analysis, and the work of criticism, while highlighting the nascent field of digital humanities.
