The Role of the Language of Science in Intensifying Environmental Crisis: An Ecolinguistic Perspective

Shadi Shahnaseri Page 1

Following on from Chawla (1991) who seeks the root of all environmental crisis in language, the present paper first introduces ecolinguistics as a new area in recent linguistic studies, and then examines the inadequacies of the language of science in reflecting ecological events and phenomena at the two levels of lexis and grammar.For this purpose, a corpus was established containing sample articles in Persian journals concerning ecological issues, and later examined in terms of ecolinguistics. The qualitative and quantitative analyses revealed high frequency of scientific terms and euphemisems at the lexical level and of the passive and conditional structures at the grammatical level. The results also showed that personal pronouns and tense were covertly present in the scientific discourse of the corpus.
Keywords: ecolinguistics, scientific terms, euphemism, passive voice, green speaking

A Modular Approach to Parts of Speech in Persian

Gholamhosein Karimi Doostan, Arman Zaker Page 2

Persian dictionaries and grammar books do not agree on the parts of speech of a considerable number of lexical words including infinitives, predicative nouns, adjectives and light verbs of the Persian language. This may cause problems for learners and researchers of Persian. In the modular grammar approach, language is divided into independent modules which may not correspond in some lexical entries. Based on a study in which words were chosen from Persian dictionaries, books and journals which considered mismatching words, the present paper argues that it is possible to account for the mismatching behaviors of the above groups of Persian words in the framework of modular grammar and terminate the disagreements on the parts of speech of these words.
Keywords: lexical words, parts of speech, modular grammar, mismatching words

A Comparative study of Violation of Gricean Maxims in a Persian and an English Play

Shahla Sharifi, Sanaz Alipour Page 3

Using Grice’s co-operative principle concerning efficient exchange of information, the present study was carried out to explore meaning and intention in two conversational texts (one Persian and one English play) by adopting an analytic- descriptive method. Strategies of violating the Gricean maxims were identified and the data thus collected from both texts were tabulated and analyzed. The differences between the violation strategies were as well examined in the two texts. The paper concludes with a possible explanation for the differences.
Keywords: pragmatics, co, operative principle, flouting maxims, violating maxims, infringement, suspension, opting out, clash

Analysis of the Persian Preposition /az/ within the framework of Cognitive Semantics as compared to the Traditional Approach

Arsalan Golfam, Mostafa Assi, Fatemeh Yousefi Rad Page 4

There is a common practice of presenting a long list of meanings with no mention of the relationship among different meanings of a preposition, as an entry, in traditional Persian grammar books. The present paper argues that such a practice is far from adequate in the case of the preposition /az/, and that the more adequate way is to present a family resemblance semantic network, based on a prototype. The method presented here makes it possible to show the conceptual relations among the senses, and therefore refutes the common assumption that the meanings of prepositions are quite arbitrary.
Keywords: cognitive semantics, spatial prepositions, Persian preposition, az

Socio-linguistic Variables of the Persian Language in Nehbandani Dialect: Consonants

Abbas Ali Ahangar, Mahboobeh Shahsavar Page 5

This study concerns the relationship between social variables such as sex, age, and education and linguistic (homophonic) variables of the Persian language in the Nahbandani Dialect. The linguistic variables in the speech of 24 very young, young, and old speakers of the dialect were identified. The results of the study showed that level of education, as a social variable, did not reduce the use of nonstandard forms, but distinguished literate old participants from the illiterate ones. Moreover, men’s speech was found to be closer to the standard speech. In cases where women’s speech tended to be closer to the standard dialect, the difference between men’s and women’s speech was insignificant and the role of age was not distinctive. The increase in the age of the adolescents having literate parents and literate adults correlated with the increase in the use of standard linguistic forms. In adolescent groups, sex turned out to be an insignificant factor in half of the linguistic variables under study.
Keywords: social variable, linguistic variable, sex, age, education

Lexical Collocation in Rumi's Poetry and Prose: A Functionalist Approach

Seyyed Ali Miremadi, Mahnaz Karbalai Sadegh Page 6

The descriptive-analytical study reported here was designed to examine lexical collocations in Rumi’s works. For this purpose, the collocations existing in the first six Books of Masnavi and those in Fihe-ma-fih were identified and structurally analyzed. The data were later compared with the collocations used in present day Persian. The results showed that the most frequent type used in Present day Persian is adjectival collocations, and that reference collocations rank second, whereas in Rumi’s works object combinations are most frequently used in the structure of collocations. The results thus reveal a change in the structure of lexical collocations through time.
Keywords: collocation, lexical collocation, associative collocation, compounds

Lexicon in Machine Translation

Arezou Mowlavi Vardanjani Page 7

Understanding the representation of knowledge and how the human mind accesses the mental lexicon can help the development of natural processing systems. This paper first examines the question of lexicon in MT and then presents a lexical representational system which uses concepts and relations, is based on conceptual representation, and can be used to enhance the efficiency of MT systems. The performance of the system in lexical disambiguation is demonstrated through conceptual graphs.
Keywords: Mt system, natural language processing, conceptual representation of lexicon

A Manichaean parable on the Sinfulness of Mourning

Omid Behbahani Page 8

This paper is a comparative study of two Manichaean texts in Middle Persian and Parthian languages. The Middle Persian text is a parable on the sinfulness of mourning and the harm it will inflict on the soul of the recently deceased. The Parthian one is about an incident in one of Mani's travels. The latter, which has been categorized as an historical text, somehow corresponds to the Middle Persian one in that the same characters seem to be involved in both. In fact, these two texts complete one another. In this article, along with a linguistic study of the texts, the cultural roots of the "sin of wailing" in the Manichaean religion are examined as well.
Keywords: parable, Manichaeism, Middle Persian texts, Parthian texts, sin of mourning, ritual mourning
