Abstract: (238 Views)
Gorani with an ancient and rich history of at least 1400 years which is erroneously regarded as Kurdish, is one of the northwestern Iranian languages which is now spoken in some parts of the three countries Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. However, according to investigations, Gorani is the most neglected and unknown Iranian language in such a way that it has been introduced as an endangered Iranian language by UNESCO in recent years. The present research deals with gathering, describing, studying and analyzing the special words and terms for espadrille and espadrille weaving carried out through fieldwork and in a contrastive framework focusing on the following three objectives: a) recording and documenting the words and terms, b) a confirmation of the studies showing that Gorani is a distinct and independent language, and c) showing that espadrille and espadrille weaving is one of the ancient and indigenous handicrafts of the Gorans. At the end, some pictures related to espadrille and its different parts are also attached. Research findings show that there are at least one hundred special words and terms for espadrille and espadrille weaving in the Gorani language with no equivalents in Kurdish confirming the objectives (b) and (c) of the present study.
