The term loanword reflects the reciprocal influence between countries and cultures that share historical, cultural, religious, economic, and political ties. For instance, Arabic and Persian are two languages with a shared lexical reservoir resulting from their historical and civilizational interactions. The influence of Arabic on Persian is evident in the incorporation of Arabic-origin words into Persian’s linguistic repertoire. However, Persian has often altered the meanings of some loanwords, leading to semantic overlaps that pose challenges for Arab students learning Persian and for translators. For this reason, this article examines such vocabulary, aiming to compile a catalog of these words, classify them, and deduce the principles Persian employs in adapting these terms. The study is limited to words collected by researchers from various sources and identified in dictionaries as being of Arabic origin and borrowed into Persian. The findings indicate that Persian has not integrated the meanings of some Arabic words into its lexicon as they are but has instead adapted them with new meanings according to its linguistic needs. Verbs, compound nouns, and adjectives are among the categories most affected by semantic changes, often resulting in ambiguity and confusion for Arab students and translators.

This study investigates rhythmic patterns in Persian-English bilingual speech, focusing on duration-based measures in a sample of late bilingual adult males. Using various rhythmic measures, including consonantal and vocalic duration, we explored cross-linguistic differences, individual consistency, and speaker identification potential. The results revealed significant differences between Persian (L1) and English (L2), particularly in vocalic measures, whereas consonantal measures exhibited greater consistency. Cross-linguistic correlations were stronger for consonantal measures than for vocalic measures, suggesting higher individual consistency in consonant timing. Speaker identification, conducted through linear discriminant analysis, achieved the highest accuracy with consonantal measures, with stronger performance in L1 than in L2. These findings indicate that while bilingual speakers adjust their rhythmic patterns to suit L2 demands, they retain individual characteristics, especially in consonant timing. This research has implications for understanding bilingual speech production and enhancing speaker recognition technology.

 Balochi and Farsi are branches of the family of Iranian languages ​​that have been in the Iranian plateau and in the neighborhood with each other and interacted with each other throughout history. One of the functions of comparative literature is to investigate the effectiveness and influence between the literature of different languages. Considering the cultural predominance of Persian language and literature in Iran and its widespread influence among Muslim nations, its effects on Balochi literature and poetry are obvious and significant.. The influence of Balochi poets on Persian reached its peak in the second period of Balochi literature and the school of Mullahs. Mawlavi Abdollah Rawanbod is one of the famous Balochi poets and the last generation of poets of this school. He is a bilingual poet whose Balochi poems are influenced by Persian language and literature. This article has analyzed the Rawnbod’s balochi poems with a descriptive-analytical method and has shown this aspect in his Balochi poems. Rawanbod's poems are not uniform in terms of the influence of Persian language and literature. Even though his poems are strongly influenced by Persian poets like Saadi in terms of theme and fantasy elements, but in terms of language, they are fluent and original. And sometimes he is so influenced by Persian in writing Balochi poetry that the stanzas become Persian with a slight change or adjustment of a word, and even some of them can be considered completely Persian.

The Regional literature contains descriptions of the characteristics of nature and people in specific areas. All regions of the world have a great deal of literature of this type, including Persian and Urdu literature. Several works in Regional literature have been produced by Ali Abbas Hosseini on the subcontinent of India and Pakistan and Mahmoud Dolatabadi in Iran.

The aim of this study was to analyze the content of the third grade Persian book according to the level of attention paid to the components of cultural capital. This research is practical in terms of its purpose, and according to its nature, the research method of content analysis was used. The statistical population includes the content of all primary school books, and as an example, the third grade Persian book was selected. The research tool included a ready-made content analysis list of cultural capital according to Bourdieu's theory. Content validity was used to estimate the validity of the analysis list, and its reliability was calculated as 89.54% through Scott's method. Frequency analysis was also used for data analysis.The findings showed that in the text of the textbook, less than ten percent attention was paid to the sub-components of cultural capital. So that the component of encouraging recognition of the heroes of the defense of the country is ranked first with 6% among the embodied components and in the entire textbook there is no paragraph about encouraging to acquire skills in manual, performing, and visual arts, instilling a positive attitude towards Students' education does not refer to scientific masterpieces inside and outside the country and refers to handicrafts.

Sociolinguistics or the sociology of language is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines the phonetic, lexical, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic subsystems of language in the context of social changes. The contemporary world is not uniform in terms of language dispersion, and the experiences of nations and governments demonstrate that understanding and addressing socio-linguistic events such as massive migrations, marginalization, the decline of minority languages, and social violence caused by discrimination and prejudice requires relying on the advancements of sociolinguistics. Recent studies show that this focus has been increasingly incorporated into the agendas of official institutions in some countries. For example, the US Bureau of Statistics published a report acknowledging the need to train census officers in sociolinguistic methods to effectively conduct the national census and interview non-English speaking citizens (Pan, 2007). The book under review is in English and it adheres to the principles and norms commonly found in academic genres. It consists of a front matter, the body of articles and an index. The front matter includes title page, copyright information, table of contents, author info, table of illustrations and table of tables. The book is divided into 11 chapters organized into three sub-sections. The end of book features an index of key terms along with corresponding page numbers. A total of 12 authors contributed to the articles in this book with only three having Iranian affiliations, while the rest are affiliated with universities and research centers abroad.

Contrastive analysis is based on structural linguistics and tries to facilitate second language learning by focusing on the current phonological, morphological, and syntactic differences of languages. The goal of this study was to compare and contrast the syllables of Persian and Korean according to CA principles. To achieve the purpose, three typological universals, that is, elements of syllable, phonotactic rules, and potential syllables were investigated. The results on the first universal indicated that Korean has seven and Persian has six vowels which can be used in syllable structure of both languages without any constraint. Furthermore, by comparing 23 Persian and 22 Korean consonants according to International Phonetic Alphabet, some different constraints on the placement of some consonants of both languages in different syllable positions were identified. Results of syllable structure showed that Korean has CVC(C) and Persian has CV(CC) structure. Korean and Persian have binary branching syllabic structure, but their internal division is different. In Korean, onset and nucleus join together for making core and then this core can join to coda for making a syllable. In Persian, nucleus and coda join together producing rime and then rime join to onset. Additionally, there are some constraints on the syllable structure of Persian and Korean that make some other differences in the phonotactic rules of them. Finally, the findings pertaining to stress placement showed that the syllable-time is the common super segmental feature of both Korean and Persian.

Safavid era is one of the important periods in the history of Iran, where Persian and Turkish languages interacted with each other. This article investigates the function of Persian, Turkish, and Arabic languages in Safavid era Iran, as well as the lexical borrowing between Persian and Turkish languages, within the framework of Bourdieu's linguistic market theory. For this purpose, Persian and Turkish loanwords were collected by content analysis method and analyzed according to Bourdieu's linguistic market perspective. The results show that during Safavid era, these three languages, coexisted with each other. Arabic was the language of religion and science; and introduced religious, and scientific words and terms into Persian and Turkish. Persian was the language of poetry and literature; It had legitimacy in the literary circles and has lent poetic and literary words and terms into Turkish, and Turkish as the language of Shahs and army; was used in the army and court environment and has lent military and government words and terms into Persian. Therefore, the dominance of each of these languages in a certain social field is because of its speaker’s authority and competence in that field, not the nature of that language.

The aim of this paper is to study Persian effect on the relative clause construction  of Azerbaijani. The data have been collected from the different contexts of Azerbaijani speakers’ speech in Ardabil province. At first the data were classified in two groups: head final relative clauses and head initial relative clauses. Then they were analyzed according to views common in language contact phenomenon including Heine (2006). So this research is descriptive-analytic. Azerbaijani allows the nouns with different  grammatical functions (subject, direct object, indirect object, object of postposition, genitive, object of comparison) to be relativized like other languages in the world.  In addition to head final relative clauses (common in Turkish languages), most of the data have been produced according to Persian relative clause structure (head initial pattern) by borrowing Persian “Ke” morpheme. Previous Azerbaijani language researchers have considered head initial relative clause as a borrowed structure from Persian to Azerbaijani. But the findings of this research show that head initial relative clause structure is an Azerbaijani native structure used in the special context limitedly without the appearance of Persian “Ke” morpheme. Persian and Azerbaijani can be considered as model and replica languages respectively in the language contact situation. Azerbaijani speakers use a strategy such as the extending strategy to increase the frequency of head initial relative clause structure matching that of Persian by borrowing Persian “Ke” morpheme, as Heine (2006) has showed the use of this strategy in the contact situation of some languages. Azerbaijani speakers choose among two alternative structures (head final and head initial relative clause structures), the one corresponding to Persian relative clause structure. Azerbaijani speakers’ extended use of head initial relative clauses is as a result of Azerbaijani convergence with Persian that is a common phenomenon due to the language contact occurring in multilingual societies

Khāqāni’s poetry stands out in Persian poetry for its abundance of images, interpretations and concepts which makes his poems difficult to understand and  explain. Though, there have been valuable researches explaining the much more complicated aspects of the poems of this renowned Persian poet, there are still a great number of expressions and interpretations in his poems which have not been understood accurately. The hypothesis behind the present study is that part of the difficulty in understanding Khāqāni’s poetry is the phenomenon of linguistic interference. As one of the consequences of bilingualism, linguistic interferences refers to the (unconscious) influence of the speaker's mother tongue on her/his second language. It also includes the presence of regional beliefs and cultural characteristics in the speaker's speech and writing in second language. Based on the aforementioned hypothesis, the present study focuses on words, sentences, interpretations and idioms in Khāqāni’s poetry which could be understood only by considering their Turkish counterpart. Considering that Khāqāni is from Azerbaijan, and his poetry is written in Persian; there have been many historical discussions about the language of Azerbaijan in his time (12 AD). Away from such considerations, this study solely focuses on his own text to investigate the complications and problems in Khāqāni’s poetry, some of which are due to the poet's linguistic interference.

The present study examines the types of themes and their distribution, as well as the types of grammatical cohesion elements in the story “the Account Discrepancy” written by Jalal Al-Ahmad, within the framework of the textual metafunction of Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar theory. Since in this theory, the clause is the main unit of meaning study, all the clauses of the story were examined and the types of themes and grammatical cohesion devices in them were identified and classified. The results of the study show that the frequency of using simple and complex themes in the corpus under study is almost equal, which indicates the author's skill in using a variety of simple and complex themes. The examination of 1127 simple and complex clauses in the research corpus shows that, in general, the divisions in Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar regarding the themes are applicable to Persian and narrative texts. The study of grammatical cohesion in the story shows that 81% of the anaphoric references are personal pronouns and 19% are impersonal pronouns. Also, 52% of the anaphoric references of personal pronouns are bound pronouns and 29% are free pronouns. More than half of the deletions are subject deletions due to the sign of the identifier. According to the statistics of the present study, the elliptical subject theme is the most frequent theme in statement clauses, which is quite consistent with the pro-dropping nature of the Persian language.

This investigation aims at examining the diachrony of so-called ‘compound verbs’ in Iranian languages. To this end, a number of texts were selected from the three periods of Iranian languages. From Old Iranian period, some Avestan texts as well as all Old Persian inscriptions, from MI period some Zoroastrian Middle Persian texts as well as from a Sogdian text were picked up and searched for instances of complex predicates, including prefixed verbs, incorporational verbs, combinational verbs, etc., which were then analyzed. The data show that in OI the majority of complex predicates consist in prefixed verbs, thus, maybe ‘compound verbs’ were not much needed to be formed. Nevertheless, ‘compound verb’ patterns did exist since that period. With verbal prefixes being inseparably attached to verb stems OP, the existent patterns for formation of complex predicates increased their productivity, the verb kar ‘do’ playing a major role as the verbal element of complex predicates. In Middle Iranian, loss of productivity of some verbal prefixes as well as inseparability of many prefixed verbs increasingly led to formation of more complex predicates, with more light verbs recruited into the construction. In New Iranian, specifically in New Persian, in addition to a decrease in number of prefixed verbs, as well as an increase in number of complex predicates, two other factors prompted the formation of new ones: first, an emergent need to produce verbs out of loan elements, and second, a tendency to morphological leveling of irregular simple verbs by converting them into complex predicates.

The aim of this comparative research is to investigate the polysemy of “head-compounds” in Persian and English and to identify the constructional schemas governing the construction of these compounds based on Construction Morphology (Booij, 2010). To this end, all compounds consisting of “head” as their first constituent were collected from different Persian and English sources. Our data consist of 300 compound words collected from Comprehensive Sokhan Dictionary, Zansoo Dictionary, Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, Online Merriom-Webster, Collins, and Cambridge Dictionaries. Then the collected compounds were semantically categorized and their similarities and differences were examined. The findings showed that the polysemy in these compounds could be explained not at the level of words, but at the level of abstract constructions and constructional schemas in both languages. Therefore, it was considered as a type of constructional polysemy. Moreover, it was found that although there were similar constructional schemas and subschemas for "head-compounds” in both languages, the semantic variations and the number of subschemas in Persian were more than that of English. This difference indicated that the schematic hierarchy of the construction [Head-X] in Persian was more semantically complex and more extended compared to English.

This article is a descriptive-analytical research based on the theory of conceptual metaphor, which examines the conceptual metaphors of the field of fear in three literary works from different languages, Sang Sabbour (Persian), Sound and Fury (English) and Miramar (Arabic). The findings of the research show that all three authors jointly used the Specific metaphor "FEAR ARE OBJECTS" and this can be a confirmation of the universality of conceptual metaphors. But in relation to Generic- level metaphors in these stories, it was found that Sadegh Chubak and Najib Mahfouz in Persian and Arabic stories have benefited the most from the Generic- level metaphor "EMOTIONS ARE OBJECTS", while Faulkner has used the most in the English story, Sound and Fury. Equally, it uses the Generic- level metaphors "EMOTIONS ARE LOCATIONS" and "EMOTIONS ARE FORCES". The difference between Persian and Arabic stories with English story points to the culture-specificity of Generic - level metaphors.

The present study aims to investigate the performance of Persian deaf individuals in using nonverbal inflectional and derivational processes. Drawing upon the assumption that different components of language are not impaired to the same extent as a result of missing a critical period, the morphological knowledge of participants in the three categories of noun, adjectives, and adverbs were examined using multiple choice questions. Participants were ten deaf students aged 15-20 and a matched number of hearing students of similar age. While error scores indicated a significant gap between deaf and hearing group, a within group analysis indicated a significant difference between inflectional and derivational processes within the deaf group who were significantly worse on tasks related to inflectional processes. It is also concluded that the deaf students, due to missing the critical years of language acquisition are less skilled at using both inflectional and derivational morphology as compared to their hearing peers.

This paper aims to investigate the usage pattern of “be-” with complex and prefixal predicates in present subjunctive mood and imperative mood. Our corpus and the statistics come from linguistic judgements passed by 12 Persian speakers about the presence or absence of “be-” with complex and prefixal predicates, and the speakers entered their usage priorities in the questionnaires (31,548 tokens for 3,588 types of complex and prefixal predicates, altogether). The research findings show that the degree of obligatoriness of “be-” with prefixal predicates is generally lower than complex predicates, and that the highest proportion of optional appearance of “be-” among complex predicates belongs to “kardan” and “shodan” as light verbs. In addition, among non-verbal elements, the highest statistics of obligatoriness go to the categories of adverb and prepositional phrase, and the lowest to the adjective. The authors believe that the variation in the use of “be-” observed for some light verbs and non-verbal categories, as well as the very high level of its obligatoriness for some complex and prefixal predicates, and its almost complete obligatory status for simple verbs, all indicate an ongoing change in the mood system of Contemporary Persian. The future of linguistic changes cannot be easily predicted, but it is probable that the optional uses of “be-” become obligatory gradually, and even some unpermitted instances gradually become optional, and ultimately obligatory.

he legality of the language structure is one of the strength factors of that language, which looks very simple and obvious; But the problem shows itself when these experts do not reach a single point of view and opinion, which will result in creating irreparable gaps in the language education system and weakening the language structures. The aim of this research is to answer the question of whether grammar writers' differences of opinion are an obstacle in teaching grammar by showing numerous examples of differences of opinion among Persian grammarians.

By examining more than ten common Persian grammars (traditional and modern) in the two parts of language analysis and composition, the author has found the difference in views and explained them. Based on this, the method of this research is descriptive-analytical.

In literary discussions, especially when its about grammar, the weak role of Persian Language and Literature Academy has been mentioned. The result of this lack of attention is the writing of books related to literary sciences in an individual and isolated manner. This distinction is more specific and objective in Persian grammar (disaggregation and composition); As can be seen in the analysis section in the topics of essence and meaning and noun structure, infinitive noun and infinitive result, types of verbs in terms of transitive and intransitive, verb structure and types of adverbs. For example, in the topic of adverbs, Modarres Tabrizi divided them into nine sections in his book of instructions (Modares Tabrizi, 2008: 77). The division of other grammarians is also like this. The topics presented below are the topic of "adverb" in the grammar books The proposed topic - Noun adverb, verb adverb Khayyampour Specific adverb and common adverb Anvari Marked and unmarked adverb, adverbial complement Vahidiyan Adverbs of time, place, quality, amount, condition, doubt, state, etc. Shariat Or if we consider the sentence "He is an athlete" and examine the word "is" from the point of view of grammarians, we will reach several opinions. Examining the role of "is" in the noun phrase from the grammarians point of view Modarres Tabrizi Vahidiyan Anvari Khayyampour Word imperfect verb documentary verb linking verb Conjunction Is In the composition section, this difference of view can be seen in the topics of complement, pure, subject, apposition, interpretive sentences and additional compounds.

The correct and regular teaching of a language is possible when the possibility of accessing a comprehensive and imperfect grammar prevents the learner from falling into the unevenness of education, and in any case, it is difficult to guide him in this direction. The Persian language has also provided students with access to grammar since at least one hundred and thirty years ago with the efforts of philosopher in the field of Persian language and literature; But in this long period, the lack of a single reference to resolve the differences of different grammar points of view has practically turned the plurality of grammar sources into an obstacle in the way of education. It must be admitted that apparently, in teaching grammar, the fundamental problem is not the correctness of one opinion or the incorrectness of another one; Rather, the problem lies in the insistence of literature and language professors, especially in the field of teaching, on their own learning at different stages of the country's educational system. At any stage, they insist on what they have and do not cite any source other than their accepted source.

This study aims to investigate the changing rates of "hopelessness" and "hopefulness" in Iranian society over the past fifty years, spanning from the 1970s to the 2010s. The study will rely on a selection of best-selling movies that reflect the social reality of any society and have the largest audience, consisting of six movies per decade. In fact, we identify the metaphors and linguistic constructions encoding "hopelessness" and "hopefulness" in the selected corpus. By comparing the token frequency of these metaphors and constructions over the fifty-year period, the study aims to quantify the rates of hopelessness and hopefulness, while analyzing them qualitatively to understand the cognitive patterns of Iranians towards hope over time. The results illustrate that "hopelessness" in Iranian society has generally increased significantly and steadily over the past fifty years. Furthermore, in terms of the cognitive pattern of hope, it can be argued that Iranians associate "hopelessness" with "inability" and characterize "hopefulness" by "dynamism" and "reliance on God."
