“…The utterances in such a dialogue are neither disconnected from each other nor do they discard the perspectives of others. Lachmann (2004) maintains that monologic utterances, on the other hand, are isolated from each other, a phenomenon similar to the Saussurian concept of 'parole'. 4 Language in dialogism is not 'isolated...rather [it] is a social event of language-interaction-which comes about in the contact between utterance and counter-utterance' (Lachmann, 2004, p. 47).…”

“…The 'semantic monopoly', which was a result of the conceptualisation of a standard language, made space to incorporate the variety of social experiences of different sections of society (Lachmann, 2004). This, as explicated by Lachmann, challenged the ideological hegemony and shuffled the power equations prevailing in Soviet Russia at that time.…”

“…It further explores his investigation into the intricate relation between society and language. The commentary engages with the underlying sociological assumptions of Bakhtin's theory, which challenge the 'semantic monopoly' (Lachmann, 2004) prevalent in contemporary discourse. It investigates how this idea impacts conversations between teachers and students in the classroom.…”

Unlike the third eye of Tibetan Buddhism, which gives those who possess it a vision of the secret unity holding creation together, Bakhtin seems to have had a third ear that permitted him to hear differences where others perceived only sameness, especially in the apparent wholeness of the human voice.-Michael Holquist (1983) The writings of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin (17 November 1895-7 March 1975) have enriched the fields of literary theory, cultural and historical linguistics, ethics, religious criticism and other human sciences (such as psychology, sociology and anthropology). The corpus of his work is so varied and wide ranging in its application that it is hard to collect and classify all his concepts under one domain of study. Coulter (1999) maintains that Bakhtin does not articulate and develop one coherent set of ideas; rather, he develops the same idea many times or many ideas at the same time.Bakhtin's works and ideas gained popularity after his death. He lived through many tough moments in his professional life in the Soviet Union. In the 1930s and 1940s, when the Stalinist party was at its height in the Soviet Union, it ignored all other voices and enforced a new form of subjugation (Stewart, 1983).

“…Scholars have turned to Russian literary theorist Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin to theorize the possibilities of fake news on social media (Meddaugh, ; Reilly, ). Among the Bakhtinian concepts deployed are “heteroglossia” and “carnivalesque.” Heteroglossia refers to a discursive environment marked by diverse language, jargons, and performances that break down all meanings (Lachmann, , p. 48), while carnivalesque is a mode of subversive jocular representation in which hierarchies are inverted (Brandist, , p. 139). In medieval Europe, carnival is a time to break social norms and rules through stylized cultural expressions; the laughter that ensued brings renewal.…”
