Bangla is filled with loanwords from varied languages. Therefore, study of loanwords in Bangla is very interesting. This study is structured in four chapters. Chapter one states the research problem that we are going to deal with. It gives an introductory account of the loanwords and adoption of loanwords. It gives a sketch of the studies that have been carried out in loanword phonology and the problems that arises during loanword adaptation. In this chapter the patterns that emerge during adaptation processes have been discussed, followed by explanation for the emergence of such patterns.The second chapter illustrates the Bangla language; its origin and development, its vocabulary, sound and syllable structure. A brief history of Bangla loanwords have also been presented. The third chapter deals with the phonological changes that take place during Bangla loanword adaptation at the segmental and syllable level. In the fourth chapter an Optimality-Theoretic account has been given for the phonological changes that we find in the third chapter. A detailed OT account has been given for the syllable level changes, and segmental level changes is accounted briefly by the Optimalty Theory. At the end of this chapter we have summarized our.findings.

The paper has both descriptive and theoretical goals. Bangla has a vast lexicon and a rich morphological system. The abundance of the classical Sanskrit language entities makes it interesting to explore the word formation processes and observe the morphophonological interactions in light of Neoclassicism. The words and affixes in Bangla have been divided into: a) Tadbhava and b) Tatsama c) Deshi (Native) and d) Videshi (Foreign). I study the different word formation processes in Bangla affixes. A rule-based account has been given to account for the morphophonological changes and bring out the essence of Neoclassicism in the Bangla lexicon and contribute towards the study of Bangla phonology and morphology.

It confronts a number of significant challenges, including a shortage of key evaluation data, the requirement for big data processing, the request for a straightforward statement of trust relationships, and the assumption for robotization. To conquer these issues and assess trust insightfully and naturally, AI has been applied to trust assessment. Researchers have developed numerous ways for evaluating trust using machine learning. However, a complete literature evaluation on this topic is still lacking. In this research, we presents a comprehensive survey of machine learning-based trust rating. We begin by discussing the necessary prerequisites for trust evaluation and machine learning.Support Vector Machines (SVM), like Neural Networks, is a technique based on automated learning from examples or machine learning that is gaining popularity in the field of study because it offers good prospects.

A constraint-based analysis under the framework of Optimality Theory is used in this work. The source languages examined in this work are: Persian, Dutch and French. In this paper, I observe the phonological processes that take place during Bangla loanword adaptation and find the phonological changes after the processing of the loanwords at the segmental and syllable level. A detailed optimality theoretic analysis is done to account for the syllable level changes; segmental level changes have been accounted briefly. Then, we arrive at a constraint ranking which accounts uniformly for onset as well as coda clusters in the loanwords incorporated into Bangla from Persian, Dutch and French.
