Abstract:

Qashqai, locally called Torki-ye Qashqâyi 'Qashqai Turkic', is a language
spoken in Iran by the Qashqai community who are mostly descendants of
Turkic-speaking nomads immigrated to the south of Iran through centuries. They
have been settled in rural and urban zones since decades. A small fraction of
their population still practices the nomadic way of life and breeds livestock.
Qashqai Turkic: A Comprehensive Corpus-based Grammar is a descriptive grammar.
It is basically the amelioration and adaptation of the PhD dissertation of the
author which was defended in December 2012 at the École Pratique des Hautes
Études in Paris. The book consists of an introduction, a grammatical
description, a corpus of texts, and a glossary. The introduction provides
general information on the Qashqai community and an account of the state of
the art of the Qashqai language.

The grammar, composed of thirteen chapters, follows a traditional layout; it
starts with the topics of phonology, continues with word classes and main
topics of morphology, then it deals with the main chapters of the syntax. A
final chapter briefly discusses the discourse structure. The corpus, selected
from a large body of data, comprises various types of Qashqai oral literature.
It also includes interviews that represent the spoken Qashqai of everyday
life. The transcribed texts are grammatically annotated and translated into
English.
