Overview

In the rapidly evolving field of language studies, this book offers a groundbreaking application of Corpus Linguistics to Persian—a language that has long been underrepresented in corpus-based research. Through a systematic analysis of linguistic data, the work explores the structural and functional dimensions of Persian, uncovering key trends in grammar, lexical usage, and sociolinguistic variation. By employing corpus-driven methodologies, it sheds light on the dynamic evolution of the language, providing deep insights into both contemporary usage and historical change. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and linguists with a designated interest in the application of Corpus Linguistics to Persian. It runs the gamut from syntax and semantics to digital humanities and translation studies, offering both depth and breadth in linguistic inquiry. By addressing a significant gap in the Persian language research, the edited volume comes to offer a fresh perspective on how corpus-based approaches can illuminate the dynamic nature of language and broaden our understanding of its use across contexts.
