Narration কাকে বলে?
বক্তা বক্তব্যে যা বলে বা প্রকাশ করে তাই Speech বা Narration।
⇨Roudrita says, " I am very loyal to my parents." (Direct speech)
⇨Roudrita says that she is very loyal to her parents. (Indirect speech)
উপরে দুইটা উদাহরণ থেকে দেখা যায় বক্তার ভাষা দুইভাবে প্রকাশ করা যায় প্রথমটি Direct speech বা প্রত্যক্ষ উক্তি আর দ্বিতীয়টি Indirect speech বা পরোক্ষে উক্তি।
Direct Speech বা প্রত্যক্ষ উক্তি: বক্তার ভাষা সম্পূর্ণ রূপে তার নিজের ভাষায় ব্যক্ত করাকে Direct speech বা প্রত্যক্ষ উক্তি বলা হয়।
Shohel says, ‘I am going to Dhaka tomorrow’. (Direct speech)
Note: Direct speech বা প্রত্যক্ষ উক্তি কে সবসময় Inverted comma ” ” মধ্যে রাখা হয়।
★Direct speech এ দুইটি অংশ থাকে।
i)Reporting verb: ব্যক্তি যে ক্রিয়া দিয়ে তার ব্যক্ত শুরু করে তাকে Reporting verb বলে।
Shohel says, ‘I am going to Dhaka tomorrow’.
এখানে Shohel says বা সোহেল বললো এখানে ‘says বা বলা’ টা হলো Reporting verb.
Note: এখানে মনে রাখা প্রয়োজন Narration কে Direct থেকে Indirect করার সময় Reporting verb অনুযায়ী Reported speech পরিবর্তন হয় যা বিস্তারিত পরে আলোচনা করা হলো।
ii) Reported speech: Inverted comma এর মধ্যে থাকা ব্যাকটিকে Reported speech বলে।
Shohel says, ‘I am going to Dhaka tomorrow’. এখানে Inverted comma মধ্যে থাকা ‘I am going to Dhaka tomorrow’ হচ্ছে Reported speech.
Indirect speech বা পরোক্ষ উক্তি : বক্তার বক্তব্যের অর্থ মিলে রেখে নিজের মতো করে পরোক্ষভাবে প্রকাশ করাকে Indirect speech বা পরোক্ষে উক্তি বলে।
Shohel says that she is going to Dhaka the next day.
Tense এর পরিবর্তন ও তার নিয়ম:
Direct Narration এ Reporting Verb Present ও Future Tense থাকলে Reported Speech কোন Tense-গত পরিবর্তন হয় না তবে, Reporting Verb Past Tense হলে অবশ্যই তা নিচে দেখানো টেবিলের নিয়ম অনুযায়ী Reported Speech পরিবর্তন করতে হয়।
