The Parthian & Middle Persian languages were spoken in pre- Islamic Iran during the Parthian & Sasanian periods (c. 250 B.C.-A.D. 641). They are preserved in several literatures & on artifacts & documents such as coins, seals, ostraca, monumental inscriptions, & papyri. This grammar organizes, illustrates, & compares the basic morphological & syntactic features of the two languages. Major diachronic changes & dialect variations are also pointed out. Two appendixes discuss related topics in Manichaean texts & Sasanian inscriptions.

The Iranian languages, due to their exceptional time-depth of attestation, constitute one of the very few instances where a shift from accusative alignment to split-ergativity is actually documented. Yet remarkably, within historical syntax, the Iranian case has received only very superficial coverage. This book provides the first in-depth treatment of alignment change in Iranian, from Old Persian (5 C. BC) to the present. The first part of the book examines the claim that ergativity in Middle Iranian emerged from an Old Iranian agented passive construction. This view is rejected in favour of a theory which links the emergence of ergativity to External Possession. Thus the primary mechanisms involved is not reanalysis, but the extension of a pre-existing construction. The notion of Non-Canonical Subjecthood plays a pivotal role, which in the present account is linked to the semantics of what is termed Indirect Participation. In the second part of the book, a comparative look at contemporary West Iranian is undertaken. It can be shown that throughout the subsequent developments in the morphosyntax, distinct components such as agreement, nominal case marking, or the grammar of cliticisation, in fact developed remarkably independently of one another. It was this de-coupling of sub-systems of the morphosyntax that led to the notorious multiplicity of alignment types in Iranian, a fact that also characterises past-tense alignments in the sister branch of Indo-European, Indo-Aryan. Along with data from more than 20 Iranian languages, presented in a manner that renders them accessible to the non-specialist, there is extensive discussion of more general topics such as the adequacy of functional accounts of changes in case systems, discourse pressure and the role of animacy, the notion of drift, and the question of alignment in early Indo-European.

English summary: The Grammatik des Westmitteliranischen (Parthisch und Mittelpersisch) (grammar of the Western Middle Iranian language, Parthian and Middle Persian) represents the first attempt to plausibly and practically assess all aspects of both the Middle Persian and Parthian languages based on a concerted approach. An overview of the available material is followed by a description of the fonts utilized along with chapters on phonology, morphology and syntax. The use of a combined approach is particularly effective due to the approximately one thousand years of history shared by these neighboring and closely related languages. The presentation is comprehensible and the language in the documents clearly marked. An extensive chapter on syntax presents the documents in the form of a clear transcription, with the original documents (which have been transliterated) listed in a reference section and thoroughly indexed. This volume will be essential to researchers and students of Iranian linguistics, cultural and religious history, Manichaeologists and scholars of Central Asian and Indo-European Studies. German description: Nach mehreren Einzelbeschreibungen vor allem der Phonologie und Morphologie der Sprachen Mittelpersisch und Parthisch sowie einem Versuch, Aspekte der Syntax beider Sprachen nebeneinanderzustellen, ist die "Grammatik des Westmitteliranischen (Parthisch und Mittelpersisch)" der erste Versuch, alle Bereiche der zwei Sprachen Mittelpersisch und Parthisch in einer sinnvollen und ausgewogenen Weise gemeinsam zu behandeln. Nach einem Uberblick uber das vorhandene Material werden die verwendeten Schriften beschrieben. Dann folgen Kapitel zur Phonologie, Morphologie und Syntax. Die etwa tausendjahrige gemeinsame Geschichte dieser benachbarten und eng verwandten Sprachen macht eine vereinte Behandlung sehr nutzlich, denn in den epigraphischen Zeugnissen des 3. Jahrhunderts und im manichaischen Material aus Turfan an der Seidenstrasse (Kopien des 9. und 10. Jahrhunderts von Originalen aus dem 3. bis 7. Jahrhundert) sind diese Sprachen zusammen und mit Wechselwirkungen belegt. Diese Quellengruppen bieten eine hervorragende und sehr zuverlassige Grundlage fur die Beschreibung. Literarisches, meist zoroastrisches, Mittelpersisch aus dem Sasanidenreich wurde ebenfalls berucksichtigt; nicht aber die "scholastische" zoroastrische Literatur des 9. Jahrhunderts, die eigene Regeln hat. Die Darstellung ist verstandlich, die Sprache der Belege deutlich gekennzeichnet. Im umfangreichen Kapitel zur Syntax werden die Belege in einer klaren Umschrift (Transkription) geboten, die Originalbelege (in Transliteration) sind in einem Verzeichnis aufgefuhrt und durch einen Stellenindex erschlossen. Forscher und Studenten der iranischen Sprach-, Kultur- und Religionsgeschichte, Manichaologen, Zentralasienforscher und Indogermanisten werden dieses Buch konsultieren

This volume offers insight into different aspects of an interesting but fairly understudied language family, opens a path to new inquiries, and provides valuable contribution to linguistics, in general, and to Iranian linguistics, in particular. The articles in this volume offer novel analyses of significant properties of some of the Iranian languages, and contribute to various linguistic subareas such as experimental and historical linguistics as well as the morphology, syntax and semantics of several members of this language family. Specifically, this volume features a few articles on the Ezafe construction which shed new light on this interesting phenomenon of Western Iranian languages from historical, comparative and syntactic points of view. Moreover, a few articles address the syntax and formal semantics of properties of Persian, offering new insight into particular constructions in this language which are also fruitful for the general theory of linguistics. Crucially, all authors raise important questions, opening up the path for further investigations.

This monograph aims to close the gap in our knowledge of the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today's Indo-Aryan languages. During the 6th-12th c. the gradual erosion of the synthetic morphology of Old Indo-Aryan resulted ultimately in the remodelling of its syntax in the direction of the New Indo-Aryan analytic type. This study concentrates on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Special attention is paid to the actuation problem seen as the tug of war between conservative and eliminative forces during their development. Other chapters deal with the evolution of grammatical and lexical aspect, causativization, modality, absolute constructions and subordination. This study is based on a wealth of new data gleaned from original poetic works in Apabhram?sa (by Svayam?bhadeva, Pus?padanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.). It contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra). All the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhram?sa examples are consistently parsed and translated. The opus is cast in the theoretical framework of Functional Grammar of the Prague and Amsterdam Schools. It should be of particular interest to scholars and students of Indo-Aryan and general historical linguistics, especially those interested in the issues of morphosyntactic change and typology in their sociohistorical setting.

This book draws on a detailed corpus analysis of fifth-century historiographical texts to explore the influence of the Iranian languages on the syntax of Armenian. Robin Meyer argues that the Armenian periphrastic perfect was created on the model of similar constructions in Parthian via a long period of language contact.

This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the field of Persian linguistics, discusses its development, and captures critical accounts of cutting edge research within its major subfields, as well as outlining current debates and suggesting productive lines of future research. Leading scholars in the major subfields of Persian linguistics examine a range of topics split into six thematic parts. Following a detailed introduction from the editors, the volume begins by placing Persian in its historical and typological context in Part I. Chapters in Part II examine topics relating to phonetics and phonology, while Part III looks at approaches to and features of Persian syntax. The fourth part of the volume explores morphology and lexicography, as well as the work of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature. Part V, language and people, covers topics such as language contact and teaching Persian as a foreign language, while the final part examines psycho- neuro-, and computational linguistics. The volume will be an essential resource for all scholars with an interest in Persian language and linguistics.
