- Summary:
- Some of the 14 papers in this collection are from a workshop convened in Rome in 2006 at the end of a two-year research project on the history of the Persian language and its non-standard varieties. Others were invited to flesh out a fuller account. They cover the historical and descriptive grammar of Persian, Middle Persian, non-standard New Persian, literary New Persian, and dialectology. Among the topics are definiteness and deixis in Middle Persian, new light on the Middle Persian-Chinese bilingual inscription from Zi'an, New Persian texts in Manichean script from Turfan, obscene vocabulary in Stiengass' dictionary, and Minabi notes.
