Abstract:
This paper employs a quantitative model of irregular sound change to investigate whether West Iranian languages have developed formally similar functional items via parallelism or via contact. I analyze etymologically related functional items in two Middle and eight New West Iranian languages, comparing observed forms to expected outcomes of these forms on the basis of purely regular sound change. A quantitative model is used to measure the distance between the observed and expected forms across West Iranian, particularly with respect to New Persian. I find that, while most New West Iranian la

Abstract:
Enclitic pronouns are used in most of New West Iranian languages. They are mainly used for marking the possessor, as well as objects, besides, those Iranian languages and dialects, which show ergative patterns, make use of enclitic pronouns for marking the agent in ergative constructions. This paper deals with the enclitic pronouns and their functions in Anbarāni, one of the Northern Talyshi dialects, spoken in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Where it is possible the features of Anbarāni enclitics will be compared with some other West Iranian languages.

Abstract:
Abstract Person clitics show proclitic attachment in some West Iranian languages. Nevertheless, most of the literature has continued to focus on enclitics. This paper provides evidence that a good number of modern languages have developed proclitics, presumably from the middle Iranian period onward. Using synchronic data from modern languages gathered in the field, and contrasting it with the Middle Iranian period and current clausal second-position clitic systems, we develop some hypotheses regarding the rise of proclitics in modern languages. We argue that proclitic attachment has resulted f

Abstract:
The article discusses Ossetic verbal paradigms. Ossetic data is compared with the data of other New Iranian languages (both East and West Iranian). The study is based on the synchronic approach. Ossetic verb has a number of features atypical of other New Iranian languages — in particular, morphological Future, Impersonal, morphological transitivity, and special forms for the third person Imperative. The person-number endings play a key role in the formation of the tense and mood forms in Ossetic. On the contrary, in other New Iranian languages, verbal roots or special affixes perform the main

Abstract:
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to outline the fundamental grammaticalization and degrammat(icalizat)ion processes observable in the restructuring of the tense/aspect/mood systems of the West Iranian languages during their historical development. Their core aspectual systems will be presented as consisting of three categories: Imperfective, Perfective and Perfect. Special attention will be paid to the rise of the analytic Perfect in Middle Persian and its further development in Early New Persian and other West Iranian languages. It will be shown that the degrammation of the copula played

Abstract:
The historical Indo-Iranian lexicon of the Central Asian linguistic area reveals interesting semantic facts that force us to re-consider the etymological sources of words derived from a single Indo-European root. The present article examines a group of East Iranian words that go back to a single Proto-Iranian root, but at the same time exhibit meanings in the Central Asian area that allow for a new se‑ mantic interpretation of this root. Under consideration is the Proto-Iranian root *u̯ arź-, tentatively reconstructed as meaning ‘to act, to do; to work; to make efforts; to be strong, active’.

Abstract:
This article focuses on the etymology of Indo-Iranian gandharvá- and possible related words outside Indo-Iranian languages. Even though the old comparison of Skt. gandharvá- and Gr. κένταυρος is phonologically untenable and cannot bring us to any reconstructable Proto-Indo-European form, their phonetic similarity should not be neglected or considered accidental and is furthermore corroborated by evidence from comparative mythology. It seems very likely that both words were borrowed from some Near Eastern non-Indo-European language, possibly Kassite or a related language, being perhaps eventual

Abstract:
The paper deals with two Middle West-Iranian lexemes, namely <pcyn'> ‘copy, replica’ and <pʾt(y)hštl(y)> ‘contract’, borrowed into some adjacent languages, such as Classical Armenian and Aramaic. The existing explanations are reviewed, and a new etymology for either word is suggested on the basis of Akkadian source forms, namely šiknu(m) ‘original’ and šiṭru(m) ‘written document’ respectively, built in the same Iranian morphological pattern. For the first lexeme the transcription paččīn instead of the commonly accepted *pačēn is proposed, and the phonetics of the range of the loan

Abstract Going beyond the contact hypothesis of the Classical Armenian periphrastic perfect, this chapter enquires into other syntactic patterns that have plausible parallels in West Middle Iranian. Three patterns in particular are investigated-nominal relative clauses, a multifunctional anaphora, and a quotative pattern-and clear Iranian parallels discussed. In the case of nominal relative clauses, the differences between Armenian and Iranian are too pronounced to argue for a contact origin, especially since similar patterns are available also in other Indo-European languages.

Abstract:
Abstract Armenian is one of the most widespread languages of the world, with distinct dialects located as far west as Transylvania and as far east as India. It has a rich literary history dating from the fourth century AD, when the Bible was translated into Classical Armenian. It is one of the most linguistically divergent of the Indo-European languages, having undergone a host of complicated phonological, morphological, and syntactic changes that continue to resist satisfactory analysis by historical linguists. The historical interest of the language derives in part from the significant lexic
