Persian is a comprehensive account of the major grammatical aspects of contemporary standard Persian, the national language of Iran.
Persian is divided into five main sections: syntax; morphology; phonology; interjections and the basic lexicon of the language. Each feature of the language is presented, explained and made clear with examples from conversational Persian, which is analyzed morpheme by morpheme and translated into English.
This work will be of interest to linguists, students and scholars, especially those interested in language typology, comparative linguistics and language universals.
Persian, or Farsi, is one of the world's oldest languages. Dating back to the sixth century B.C., it is spoken today by over forty million people in Iran and 5 million in Afghanistan. This is the first comprehensive grammar of Persian and provides detailed coverage of all its linguistic aspects, including the syntax, morphology and phonology.
