In this research making-meaning of colour in Fatemy Spring billboardswere investigated for identifying denotations of colour system. The research corpus consists of 200 billboards. For discovering making-meaning pattern of colour in research corpus, Kress & Van Leeuwen (2002, 2012), O'Toole (2011) and Bateman (2014) adopted and integrated with theoretical considerations of Hultz schuhe (2005). The findings showed that making meaning of colour in current atmosphere of Iran had systemathic pattern. Generally, mythic system of Fatemiye mourning preferred and spring mythic system has been replaced by the Nowruz celebration. Moreover, representing natural aspects of spring in the genere of Tehran's Fatemy Spring billboards led to fade mythic elements of Fatemiye mourning.

Traditionally, Persian syllable structure is CV, CVC or CVCC. But some phonological processes like coronal plosive consonants elision from the second slot of consonant clusters, put this in question. This article aims at explaining Persian syllable structure in the framework of CVX theory. It is shown that maximal syllable size in this language is not more than CVC. The phonological process, elision is discussed to prove this claim. In this framework the different morphological status of /t/ is responsible for the different phonological behavior of this phoneme in elision. From this point of view, -t is introduced as the deep-structure of past tense morpheme in Persian verbs.

This paper will examine the clitics in Tati. The main objective is to know what classes ‎of ‎clitics are in this type of language; where they are attested. Their similarities to affixes ‎and ‎words are the main motivation make authors study them. The data collection is ‎based on the ‎native speakers' utterences. The clitic types in Tati are plural and ‎definiteness marker for ‎human, Ergative pronouns, enclitics, adjective and indefiniteness ‎markers, focused marker on ‎verbs, enclitic adverb, personal pronoun and case markers. ‎In this language, enclitic complex ‎predicates are the contexts on which the enclitic ‎pronouns can be used.‎‏ ‏The general properties of clitics such as host, role, stress are ‎important. On the contrary of ‎Persian, the endings of the verbs are considered as clitics. ‎The combination of some clitics is ‎possible in this language. The doubling of clitics have ‎not been allowed in Tati as well. ‎

The current research analyzes the conceptualization of the word "still" as well as extracting its concepts and meanings through the Cognitive Grammar. The corpuses we used include BijanKhan Corpus, Persian weblogs and websites and the personal recordings collected from daily conversations carefully examined to bring about the word's most comprehensive semantic bottlenecks to be analyzed and the conclusion was provided in the forms of concepts and meanings. Hence, for the word "still", the concepts continuation of the previous process in the speech event process (sort of aggregation) and simultaneous differentiation and congregation, and the meanings so far (excluding the present), always and nonstop (no Persian equivalent in one word), the way it was (no Persian equivalent in one word), up to and as soon as were released. Besides, we discovered and coined the novel concept and term of extremity as a new analytical device in CG.

Abstract:The present research explores the analysis of semantic network of two prepositions in Sorani Kurdish:"bæ,læ"within the framework of cognitive semantics. Cognitive semantics has a special view toward preposition. One of the recent models is the Principled Polysemy Model (Tyler & Evans 2003). The prepositions "bæ, læ" have a two final "æwæ, dɑ" in the end of their noun phrase that distinguishes this research from other. the primary sense of"læ" is "beginning, source" and its semantic network contains 15 senses. The circumposition "læ… dɑ" determined for primary sense and its metaphor cluster of sense. The circumposition "læ…dɑ" for containment's cluster and the preposition "læ" for other distinct senses. The preposition"bæ" has 12 distinct senses and the"adherence" is specified as its primary sense. The circumposition "bæ…æwæ" determined for primary sense and its metaphor cluster. The circumposition "bæ…dɑ" for containment's cluster and the single preposition:"bæ" for other distinct senses.

In this article, we try to represent syntactic structure of Verbs “xastæn and tævanestæn” in Persian. First, since there is no agreement on modality of such verbs taking inflection, we try to adopt an appropriate desicion on this subject based on their semantic and formal classificatins. Then, considering syntactic and semantic behavior of peripheral modal verbs “xastæn and tævanestæn”, we try to draw a conclusion about the controversial subject whether these verbs are control or raising and finally, we conclude in Persian, propositional modals, whether epistemic or root and whether internal or external participant are raising and nonpropositional modals are control structures .

The present research explores the conceptual metaphors of happiness in Persian, Kurdi and Gilaki languages within the framework of cognitive linguistics. Native speakers of these three languages were interviewed and conceptual metaphors were extracted and classified based on kovecses's framework (2008). Then, most frequently used metaphors were identified in each language and used source domains and mappings were recognized. Next step was comparing these used source domains and mappings in three investigated languages and comparing conceptual structure of happiness in them. Finally, conceptual metaphors of happiness were compared in these three Iranian languages and some other languages like English.

Ezafe constructions are one of the most frequent constructions in Persian language, studied by many researchers in the fields of Linguistics, Literature, Persian Language Grammar and the like. Different kinds of Ezafe constructions are linked to each other. The said links, according to Construction Grammar which is a cognitive approach, are called "Inheritance Links". Inheritance Links are made through motivation, meaning that one construction is inherited from the other one. The present study, which is a descriptive-analytical study, is aimed at studying the inheritance links existed between Ezafe constructions in Persian Language. Results indicate that different kinds of Ezafe constructions in Persian Language are related to each other by different inheritance links, constituting a semantic-inheritance network of constructions. The inheritance links existed in Ezafe constructions include, but are not limited to, polysemy inheritance links, metaphorical inheritance links, degree decreasing inheritance links, description limiting inheritance links, and abstract inheritance links.

Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present paper aims to explore ditransitive constructions in Persian within the framework of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) and to analyze their syntactic and semantic structures. It also examines these constructions within Haspelmath’s (2015) typological approach. on the basis of Van Valin’s (2007) approach, the findings of the research show that most ditransitive constructions in Persian follow the universal Actor-Undergoer hierarchy and therefore the Theme argument of these constructions (the last argument in the logical structure) receive the macrorole of Undergoer which results in a prepositional dative construction. On the other hand, within Haspelmath’s (2015) typological approach, results reveal that Persian is among the languages that have indirective alignment in which the object of the monotransitive constructions is coded in the same way as the Theme of the ditransitive constructions.

Samad Behrangi was one of the Iranian story writers of 1340s whose narratives were based on social issues for children and teenagers. Contrary to the dominant neutral and obedient discourse in his contemporary works, he provoked the audience to stand against the status quo and, accordingly, opened new horizons in writing stories for children and teenagers. Laclau and Mouffe's DA method, the researcher aims to analyze the discourse of boiled beet-selling lad in order to determine which textual and paratextual elements play significant roles in the discourse formation of the story and to what extent the sociopolitical atmosphere of the forties was involved in its textual formation. The results suggested that Behrangi's sociopolitical tendency had a significant role in challenging the economic and social developments of his time, namely land reforms and its consequences. Furthermore, opponent discourse appeared in the form of highlighting, marginalization, alienation and language strategies.

The article is an introduction and review therefore it has no abstract, so its introduction section has been submitted. The dialect and dialect words were first introduced in 1337 by Dr. Sadegh Kia, a graduated of Persian language and literature and a professor at the University of Tehran, in the literature of linguistics in Iran, and the dialect thus became known in Iran. Although he was the first to use dialectics, the history of this branch of linguistics in Iran dates back much earlier, and found examples of linguistic cases, along with history and geography books, especially those that are called Mesal-o-Mamalek
