Punjabi Semantics Research Article Needed

I need a thoroughly researched, 20-page academic article that examines the Punjabi language through the lens of its semantics and lexicon. The paper must go beyond a surface overview, digging into meaning relationships, lexical borrowing, regional variation in word usage, and any notable shifts in semantic fields over time. While phonology or historical development are interesting angles, they are secondary; the core of the paper has to remain on how meaning is structured and conveyed in contemporary and classical Punjabi.

Every claim should be grounded in peer-reviewed academic journals. Please cite each source in a consistent citation style of your choice and include a full reference list at the end. I will be looking for clear argumentative threading, critical engagement with existing scholarship, and original synthesis rather than a simple literature summary. The final document should be around 6,000–7,000 words (excluding references), delivered as an editable Word file.

I’m happy to discuss your preliminary outline and any key journal articles you plan to use before you dive in, so we stay aligned on scope and depth.
