Full Description
This book is the first of its kind in providing a lexicon of kinship terms prevalent in the Western dialects of Iran, with a parallel glossary in English. It engages the dialects and their terminology in the English language to bring to purview how language imitates life, particularly in rural settings. Subsequently, it gives a glimpse into the irrefutable relation that exists between culture and word usage. In doing so, it serves as a cultural manifesto as it pertains to Persian language, poetics, and applied linguistics and is relevant to linguists, cultural scholars, Anthropologists and students in Persian language, literature, and culture and certainly all Iranian languages.
