  Yazdi dialect is one of the most prominent dialects of central Iran, due to its specific climatic and cultural conditions, has undergone less transformation, and there are still signs of its aging and linguistic latency. In this research, a descriptive, analytical, and documentary and educational approach based on comparative-thematic method has been used. So, first, the location and climate conditions, the place and the main features of the phonetic and grammatical structure of the Yazdi language have been considered. Subsequently, the most important vocabulary of the mentioned language is categorized in various subjects such as common terms, tools, names of plants and animals, and then their phonological and semantic changes and their etymology in comparison with the dialect of Ancient Persia and Middle Iranian language. The history of many Yazdi vocabulary, such as: Asar (ssarā): Lister, Issax: Pool, Ossa: Master, Ayarah, Kelahā: Leprosy, Esbol: Spleen, etc. Through the years of Indo-Iranian, and even the Indo-European era, Yazdi speakers still use some of these vocabularies.

  Mahrokh Monsef Aliye Kord Zafaranlou Kambouziya Arsalan Golfaam
  The main concern of this article is to analyze the assimilation process between consonants of 15 various languages of Fars Province such as Shirazi, Shurabi, Kazeruni, Davani, Abduyi, Mamassani, Papuni, Richi, Birovakani, Dadenjani, Mehbodi, Zaxoruyei, Ghalati, Lari and More

  The main concern of this article is to analyze the assimilation process between consonants of 15 various languages of Fars Province such as Shirazi, Shurabi, Kazeruni, Davani, Abduyi, Mamassani, Papuni, Richi, Birovakani, Dadenjani, Mehbodi, Zaxoruyei, Ghalati, Lari and Xonji based on the generative phonology. Data required for conducting this research have been extracted from the written documents such as books, theses, and also articles. In addition, if this type of research requires more extended data or verifying their collected data, the writer interviewed with the informants of the mentioned varieties of languages and records their speeches. Some of the main results are as follows: 1. Assimilation in consonantal clusters /-st/ and /-nb/ are more frequent than other clusters in the mentioned 15 varieties of languages. 2. In these 15 varieties, assimilation in manner of articulation is more frequent than other features such as place of articulation or voicing. 3. Progressive and partial assimilation are more common than regressive and total integration. 4. In these varieties of languages, in consonants assimilation of two-consonantal sequences, the sonorant consonant is always more dominant. 5. In consonants assimilation within these varieties, assimilation among consonants with the same place of articulation is always results in total assimilation and consequently yields fake germination.

  Auto-segmental phonology is a continuation of research in generative phonology framework firstly proposed by Goldsmith in 1976. In auto-segmental phonology, phonological representation comes out of the linear mode and it is explained in form of network and hierarchy. Accordingly, in auto-segmental phonology, the focus is on the changes which phonological rules can do on the organization of phonological realizations. In auto-segmental phonology, realizations are not as the simple phonological elements which include all phonological rules at the same level, anymore. In auto-segmental phonology, phonological rules not only affect phonological elements, but also influence the manner of the relation of elements in different layers. This research aims to investigate the phonological process of vowels harmony in Gilaki dialect in Rasht on the basis of auto-segmental phonology. The research method is both descriptive and analytical. The data have been collected by field study method. The results revealed that auto-segmental phonology, itself, was able to explain and represent the phonological process of vowel harmony in Gilaki dialect of Rasht. Manuscript profile

      Omission refers to the elision of a segment during the production of a speech sound. Deletion of a segment usually occurs in initial, medial, or final positions of a word. Complete deletion of a segment included a consonant or a vowel regarded as one of the most common universal processes in phonology. Considering this fact, the present research aims at investigating the "deletion" process in Bakhtiyari dialect in Izeh. To get this end, the required data collected by field study via recording the sample data from speakers (age range between 60 to 70 years). Collected data were classified and transcribed. Descriptive –analytical method was used to analyze them within the theoretical framework of optimality. The results of our analysis showed dominating constraints on the optimal candidates during analyzing the process of segment deletion in Bakhtiyari dialect. In the process of omission, the optimal candidates selected in Bakhtiyari dialect by observing the "markedness constraints" and receiving the least penalization from the faithful limitation in the surface level. Thus, in this dialect, markedness constraints play the fundamental role in determining the optimal output dominates over the other constraints. Manuscript profile

  Ureh is the village located in west part of Natanz City in Isfahan Province, adjacent to Karkas Mountains, that is 130 km away from the center of the Province. In this research, besides the brief geographical and historical introduction of the village, the most frequent and applicable phonetic system and phonological processes in the standard Persian lexical loan within the Ureh village dialect are studied. The methodology of this study was field study in which the data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the speaker of the dialect in the area. Then, the collected data are classified in the current phonological processes patterns, and the words samples are presented in the process. The purpose of this study was to identify and classify the most frequent phonological processes in the standard Persian lexical loan in Ureh village dialect. At last, some sentences were presented as the sample of the dialect. It is concluded that there is no significant and meaningful difference between the phonological system among the Ureh village dialect speakers and standard Persian terms; and only through the phonological processes, including exchange, omission, addition, and changing, there is a meaningful difference. The vowels and consonants of the standard Persian terms are changed in this dialect, and it can be said that phonologically the vowels and consonants are similar to other terms in the Ureh village dialect.   Manuscript profile

  The main concern of this article is to describe and analyze samples of some phonological processes such as assimilation, insertion and vowel harmony in the Qashqai version of Turkish. The data required for conducting this research has been collected by interviewing with 6 native informants of the mentioned language variety in the age range of 25 to 60 years. In addition, for preparing more data, the researchers used written documents. The native intuition of one of the writers of the article was utilized to. The analysis of the collected data shows that the processes of assimilation, insertion and a vowel harmony are very productive in this language variety. Some of the main results of this study are as follows: 1.In the Qashqai Turkish, the glide [j] is inserted between vowel sequences at the morpheme boundary to prevent vowel hiatus. 2. In the process of vowel harmony, the vowel of the plural suffix /lAr/ and also the vowel of the negative-imperative suffix /mA/ become assimilated with the root vowel in the feature [+ back]. 3. In consonant assimilation within this language variety, assimilation among homorganic consonants always results in total assimilation and consequently yields fake germination Manuscript profile

  The modal prefixes which is the indication of the imperative and conditional moods is shown in the Mokriyani's dialect by two prefixes as (bi- & da-) which cause some phonological processes when they are added to the verb stems. In this paper by following the general principles of autosegmental phonology, we are looking for defining these phonological processes of adding (da-) to the verb stems in the mentioned dialect. The layout of the research is comply with one of the sub-theories of generative phonology here means autosegmental phonology.The required data are gathered by reviewing the accessible sources and documenting the written data which are mentioned in Kurdish books and texts.  The gained results show that three phonological processes are more prominent among other phenomena which consist of glide-insertion, syllable reduction and metathesis. Among these three phenomena, glide insertion is the most prevalent one in comparison to the previous ones of glide insertion and syllable reduction Manuscript profile

  The present study aims to describe the most important phonological processes analytically in Golpayegani dialect in the framework of Optimality Theory. The standard Persian Language for this research is the one which is used by speakers in national mass media.  But since there is variation in different villages and area, the focus of this research is on urban area of pronunciation. The data of this study were obtained from Golpayegani-native speakers' daily conversations by the author. The data analysis showed that weakening, vowel assimilation, vowel dissimilation and metathesis are the most frequent processes. Among different kinds of weakening, spirantization and approximation are also the most frequent in this accent. In the framework of Optimality Theory, markedness constraints are often responsible for optimal candidates. Manuscript profile

  Tabasi dialect is the vernacular spoken in Tabas, one of the cities in Khorasan province, Iran. In the present article, the aim is to study some phonological processes of this variety. The data were gathered by field study and written sources. The data from field study were collected via interviews with the local informants settled in Tabas. The informants age ranged between 30 to 80 years. Generally, the results showed that the process of "elision" and "assimilation", “metathesis” and “prothesis” are some of the phonological ones in this variety. Other phonological processes in this variety are mentioned as well. In Tabasi dialect, deletion of the final consonants /d/, /m/, /n/, /t/, /k/, /z/; deletion of the final vowel [y]; addition of a vowel at the beginning of a cluster consonant; changing the phonetic group [ān] and [ām] to [u(n)] and [um]; exchanging the two phonemes [āb] and [ab] and [af] and [āy] and [āv] and the compound vowel [əw] are some of the phonological processes.

  The present study is allocated to the investigation of the phonological process of fortition in some dialects of Isfahan province. In order to accomplish this research, the data of twenty-four dialects which are common in Isfahan province, and especially in Kashan and Natanz regions have been examined. The studied dialects are among the Central dialects of Iran. The phonological process of fortition has different types such as devoicing, stopping, insertion, gemination, etc. Different types of which are used in the studied dialects. In this research, an attempt is made to determine the types of phonological processes of fortition in some dialects of Isfahan, Kashan, and Natanz, and to determine their extent and frequency. It has been also tried to regulate in which contexts and places the fortition process takes places. The current research method is descriptive-analytical one. Some of the results of this research are: 1) The most frequent phonetic process of fortition in the examined dialects is devoicing. 2) Stopping is the second common strengthening process in these dialects. 3) The phonetic process of insertion is also a very common phenomenon in the studied dialects, and consonant insertion is more frequent than vowel insertion.

  The purpose of this study was to assess basic skills in 103 fourth- grade students with math disability based on Iran Key Math (Hooman & Mohamadesmael, 2002) and co-morbid mathematics and reading disability based on word reading sub test of Reading Test (Kormi-Nouri & Moradi, 2008). The sample consisted of three IQ homogenate groups: Children with mathematics disability and average reading ability (n= 24), children with co-morbid mathematics and reading disability (n=24) and children with average achievement in mathematics and reading (n=26). The basic skills were phonological processing, temporal-auditory processing, phonological short-term /working memory. ANOVA and Post Hoc tests (Tukey) results indicated that children with math disability and average reading ability performed worse than average group in temporal-auditory processing. Overall, deficits in phonological processing, temporal- auditory and phonological short-term memory had more influences on co-morbid mathematics and reading disability than on math disability.      Manuscript profile

  Mazandarani Dialect is typologically placed in the group of Northwestern Iranian Languages; and therefore, some of its phonological processes are different from the group of Southwestern Iranian Languages. The purpose of this research is to introduce Lenition and Fortition processes and express their characteristics in the Language Varieties of Mazandaran Province. Most of the data of this research was obtained through interviewing and recording the speech of 30 speakers from 15 cities of Mazandaran Province, including "Sari, Babol, Babolsar, Amol, Qaem Shahr, Savadkooh, Noor, Nowshahr, Chalus, Abbas Abad, Mahmood Abad, Fereydun-Kenar, Behshahr, Tonekabon, and Kelardasht" have been collected, categorized, described and analyzed. In addition, sources such as articles, theses and dictionaries written about this dialect have also been used. The researchers directly interviewed the speakers and recorded the required information. The most important results can be summarized in a few cases: 1) the glide /j/ is removed in the coda of the syllable after a vowel in all varieties of Mazandaran Province. 2) The three Vowels /a/, /o/, /e/ turns to central vowel /ә/ which is named Centralization. 3) The voiced stop consonant /d/ turns to approximant [j] after the vowel. 4) A glottal stop inserts at the beginning of those words which begin with /s/ or /š/. 5) Consonants /f/ and /v/ turns to [b] at the beginning of the syllable.
