    Open AccessMortaza Taheri-Ardali, Simon Roessig et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2025References: 3

    Previous studies have demonstrated that focus significantly alters sentential prosody in Persian. However, research on the phonetic realization of non-corrective narrow focus is scarce compared to that on broad and corrective focus.

    Open AccessErik Anonby, Mortaza Taheri-Ardali et al.ARTICLEIranian Studies2020References: 2

    Most studies on language contact in Iran have focused on the effects of Persian on the country’s minority languages. There are also many cases where large regional languages such as Azeri, Kurdish, Balochi, Lori and Bakhtiari exert an influence on smaller regional languages, and a few studies have appeared on this topic. This paper examines the effects of language contact in the city of Juneqan in Chahar Mahal va Bakhtiari Province, Iran, where t…

    Open AccessErik Anonby, Mortaza Taheri-Ardali et al.ARTICLEIranian Studies2019Cited by: 5References: 1

    There have been a number of important efforts to map out the languages of Iran, but until now no language atlas, or even a comprehensive and detailed country-level language map, has been produced. One of the recent initiatives which aims to fill this gap is the online Atlas of the Languages of Iran (ALI) ( http://iranatlas.net ). This article delineates objectives of the ALI research programme, atlas architecture, research methodology, and prelim…
