Abstract:

This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the field of Persian
linguistics, discusses its development, and captures critical accounts of
cutting edge research within its major subfields, as well as outlining current
debates and suggesting productive lines of future research. Leading scholars
in the major subfields of Persian linguistics examine a range of topics split
into six thematic parts. Following a detailed introduction from the editors,
the volume begins by placing Persian in its historical and typological context
in Part I. Chapters in Part II examine topics relating to phonetics and
phonology, while Part III looks at approaches to and features of Persian
syntax. The fourth part of the volume explores morphology and lexicography, as
well as the work of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature. Part V,
language and people, covers topics such as language contact and teaching
Persian as a foreign language, while the final part examines psycho- neuro-,
and computational linguistics. The volume will be an essential resource for
all scholars with an interest in Persian language and linguistics.
