Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the first contemporary linguistic treatment of Armenian, an Indo-European language whose distinct dialects range geographically from Poland to India. The book documents a rich linguistic (and literary) history dating from the fourth-century translation of the Bible into Classical Armenian. Data are drawn from Classical, Middle, and Standard Eastern and Western Armenian, and from the author's fieldwork on non-standard dialects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This grammar of Modern Eastern Armenian gives a precise and explicit description of the Eastern Armenian language of the Republic of Armenia. It covers not only the normative tradition but, more importantly, also describes the colloquial language as it is used in Armenia today. With regard to methodological approach and terminology it fully meets the demands of modern general linguistics and typology. This grammar will be of interest not only to the specialised readership of descriptive and comparative linguists, of typologists and of armenologists, but to all those who would like to acquaint themselves with linguistic data from living Armenian. It will also be of use to students wishing to learn Modern Eastern Armenian and to lecturers in Modern Eastern Armenian language courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is particularly interested in comparative and historical research on Armenian as an Indo-European language. This "Introduction" consists of two parts. The first one describes the phonological and morphological system of Classical Armenian with the purpose of setting off its characteristic features, not of dwelling on such details as can be found in any good grammar book. The second part is comparative and historical. besides the best ascertained facts, it includes disscussions on controversial issues, as well as some new insights in histroical morphology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation offers a comprehensive review of the current literature on the historical sound changes that underlie the diachronic development of the Armenian sounds from their Proto-Indo-European origin. Additionally, it presents novel analyses of the following six phonological or morphophonological phenomena: (i) The original phonological distinction between the two Armenian historical laterals is analyzed in terms of voicing contrast. (ii) The fate of the inherited final nasals in the classical language is argued to be fully predictable based on the duration of the preceding inherited vowels. (iii) The non realization of a word final palatal glide is explained as a morphophonological process that targets specific suffixes. (iv) The non-realization of the aorist augment is analyzed as a metrically conditioned zero allomorphy. (v) The affricate dissimilation in the aorist subjunctive is interpreted with reference to the prosodically conditioned reduction of /i/ in the subjunctive suffix. Finally, (vi), modern Armenian plural allomorphy is analyzed in terms of the interaction between morphophonological REALIZATION and ALIGNMENT requirements and syllabic well-formedness in the framework of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993/2004).
Download or read book A grammar of Iranian Armenian written by Hossep Dolatian and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iranian Armenian is the variety of spoken Armenian that was developed by Armenians in Tehran, Iran over the last few centuries. It has a substantial community of speakers in California. This variety or lect is called “Persian Armenian” [pɒɻskɒhɒjeɻen] or “Iranian Armenian” [iɻɒnɒhɒjeɻen] by members of the community. The present book is not a comprehensive grammar of the language. It occupies a gray zone between being a simple sketch versus a sizable grammar. We attempt to clarify the basic aspects of the language, such as its phoneme inventory, noticeable morphophonological processes, various inflectional paradigms, and some peculiar aspects of its syntax. We likewise provide a sample text of Iranian Armenian speech. Many aspects of this variety seem to be identical to Standard Eastern Armenian (SEA), so we tried to focus more on those aspects of Iranian Armenian which differ from SEA. The phonology has developed new phonemes and intonational contours due to contact with Persian. The morphophonology has grammaticalized allomorphic patterns that are phonosyntactic, meaning they reference syntactic information. Nominal morphology is largely identical to SEA but with some simplification of irregular processes. Verbal morphology is similar to SEA, but with major innovations in the aorist paradigm. The aorist or past perfective paradigm has undergone a change whereby irregular patterns have been reanalyzed as regular patterns. The syntax is largely the same as SEA, but with innovations due to contact with Persian, such as object clitics and the use of resumptive pronouns.

Download or read book The Languages and Linguistics of Western Asia written by Geoffrey Haig and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 1259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The languages of Western Asia belong to a variety of language families, including Indo-European, Kartvelian, Semitic, and Turkic, but share numerous features on account of being in areal contact over many centuries. This volume presents descriptions of the modern languages, contributed by leading specialists, and evaluates similarities across the languages that may have arisen by areal contact. It begins with an introductory chapter presenting an overview of the various genetic groupings in the region and summarizing some of the significant features and issues relating to language contact. In the core of the volume the presentation of the languages is divided into five contact areas, which include (i) eastern Anatolia and northwestern Iran, (ii) northern Iraq, (iii) western Iran, (iv) the Caspian region and south Azerbaijan, and (v) the Caucasian rim and southern Black Sea coast. Each section contains chapters devoted to the languages of the area preceded by an introductory section that highlights significant contact phenomena. The volume is rounded off by an appendix with basic lexical items across a selection of the languages. The handbook features contributions by Erik Anonby, Denise Bailey, Christiane Bulut, David Erschler, Geoffrey Haig, Geoffrey Khan, Rene Lacroix, Parvin Mahmoudveysi, Hrach Martirosyan, Ludwig Paul, Stephan Procházka, Laurentia Schreiber, Don Stilo, Mortaza Taheri-Ardali, Christina van der Wal Anonby.
