Abstract

Kazi Nazrul Islam's literary oeuvre is located within a linguistic event horizon, wherein Persian and Urdu function as intertextual semiotic domains rather than lexical intrusions that destabilise the phonological, syntactic, and semantic topography of Bengali. This paper examines the structural, affective, and epistemic consequences of Nazrul's Persian-Urdu interpolations through a Quantum-Semiotic lens, investigating how these translinguistic components work as superpositional signifiers that elude monolingual collapse. The paper then utilises Bakhtinian heteroglossia, Peircean abductive semiosis, and Foucaultian discourse analysis to situate Nazrul's linguistic practice within the larger Indo-Persianate epistemic regime. Finally, this paper theorises Persian and Urdu not as singular linguistic influences but as entangled quantum-lexical states destabilising linear Bengali literary historiography and generating a bifurcated aesthetic consciousness swinging between the Persianate cosmopolis and the nascent Bengali national imaginary.
