In this paper, we aim to analyze the difference between classical Persian and new Persian poems using the current cognitive linguistics theories. The study aims to recognize the differences and similarities of the image schemas of two styles of poetry; namely, classical and modern poem. The research question is that what kinds of different image schemas are used in classical and modern poems. The hypothesis is that there are different kinds of image schemas in classical and modern poem. To this end, we analyze the image schemas of Hafiz's poems as sample of classical poetry and Sohrab Sepehri's poems as modern one. We have chosen 13 poems of Hafiz Divan as classical poems and 8 poems of Sohrab Sepehri's Hasht Ketab as modern Persian poems.

In Persian language, implicature has an important role in discourse and also inference by listener is of great importance. The purpose of this study is analysis of Persian data and categorizing different forms of implicature. The problem is how Persian speakers infer the intended message conveyed by the speaker. The study is based on a descriptive-analytical approach. Data of this study are the 50-hour recorded conversations of people in 13 situations in Tehran. After finding implicatures, they were classified. They were described and analyzed based on the hypotheses. It is concluded that in Persian, implicit meaning is shown by generalized conversational implicature, scalar implicature, particularized conversational implicature and convent

It seems that speech technology is a multidimensional skill which is related to some semiotic verbal and non-verbal issues and is more complicated than the usual and everyday language that native speakers use to communicate. Studies have shown that the power of speech is not any less than magic indeed in many fields.In this paper, it has been tried to investigate the quality of both speech and speech techniques of 10 Farsi speakers in the viewpoint of 100 Farsi native speakers including 21 verbal, Para-linguistic, non-linguistic, and pro-enunciation factors applying a listener-based method which was done for the first time in Farsi. The Participants have been chosen through stratified sampling to obtain data. The opinion poll has been about

In this article, a contrastive analysis of reformists and fundamentalists’ press texts, related to nuclear talks has been performed in specific periods of time, before and after the last round of nuclear talks between Islamic Republic of Iran and the 5+ 1 group, especially the United States’ related texts in Iran’s Persian newspapers as representatives of the two opposite discourses, from the perspective of the Critical Discourse Analysis approach by using socio-semantic features of Van Leeuwen’s model (2008). This study goes beyond the structural description of the discourse practices and examines the ways through which a system and structure make possible a special type of action. To do so, discursive texts of the two Iranian Pers

This article examines the changes that have occurred in Arabic loanwords after entering the Persian language. These changes are described and categorized on the phonetic and semantic levels. The results of the research show that some Arabic phonemes have become some of the closest phonemes in terms of the place of production (without second generation) in the Persian phonemic system due to their absence in Persian language or their dual articulation in Arabic.At the level of semantic, although the loan words has entered the Persian language with the same form as in Arabic, they have meanings other than hgose in the Arabic language. On the other hand, many of these loan words in the post-Safavid period have received new meanings in new conte

The present study deals with imperative mood in Persian language based on prototype theory which is one of sub-theories of the cognitive linguistics approach. The research hypotheses are based on distinctions between the form and meaning components in the imperative mood and its distribution in the language corpus of contemporary literature. The aim of this paper is to describe and classify the criterion of the imperative mood in different language levels and beyond.According to the cognitive linguistics approach, language is part of a cognitive system and the syntactic structure of a language can't be studied separately, but all influential factors should be considered from different lingual aspects. The data analysis was carried out throu

The language of Transoxiana Aryans tribes, coinciding with the formation of the Persian language after the advent of Islam to Iran, was Persian in the same way as the official language of the Bukhara was Persian and continued to be so until the occupation of this region the Tsar of Russia, and the fall of three prominent empires of Khoqand (1876 AD), Bukhara and Khwarezm (1920 AD), and utmost their division into five Central Asian republics by the erstwhile Soviet Union in 1924.

The role of Fitrat Bukharaei (1886-1

Differences between morphological and syntactic structure of Arabic language on one side and Persian language on the other, is a significant factor causing problems in speaking, reading and writing skills of Persian at elementary level in bilingual areas, in the south of Iran, where Arabic speaking children are supposed to learn Persian at school The participant samples of this study comprise 60 teachers and students of 6 classes of the schools in these Arabic speaking areas.

An important factor in the recognition of Persian proverbs and realization of their differences with other nations' proverbs is giving a bright and all-embracing definition of Persian proverbs. The existing definitions are not expansive enough. Focusing on the existing definitions, and upon extensive study of the proverbs, the present article attempts to offer a scientific and all-embracing definition referring to the Persian proverbs' every property. In this article, we first deal with lexical meaning and roots of proverbs, then in the idiomatic definition section, analyzing 38 definitions from Arab, Persian and Western scholars and the definitions relying on the existing proverbs, reach the following full-scale definition.

This investigation was conducted to specify child language learning phonological, morphological, and syntactic problems in listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing skills of Persian at elementary level in bilingual areas of the I.R. Iran, where Turkish and Arabic speaking children are supposed to learn Persian at school. The findings of this study show that these children have more listening comprehension problems in the first two months of the educational year, but the problems decline in the next months. The most frequent morphological problems of Arabic speaking Persian learners are in verbal inflections (mode, tense, number …) and subject-verb agreement. Bilingual learners of Persian in these areas use limited code in sp
