Abstract: (8 Views)
Idiomatic expressions are among the most important literary elements in oral literature and do not always have identifiable speakers. This literary form can be found in the everyday speech of people in different communities. The culture and language of every nation are aptly reflected in its idiomatic expressions. They add beauty to speech, and searching for their underlying and intended meanings provides a particular pleasure. Therefore, the study of idiomatic expressions found in Iranian dialects is of particular importance. Accordingly, this study compares idiomatic expressions in Tati, which is spoken across extensive areas of Iran and the Caucasus, with those found in Anbarani Taleshi, and attempts to identify their equivalents in Standard Persian in order to determine the similarities among these two dialects and Standard Persian in the domain of idiomatic expressions. Although Persian has spread as the standard language of Iran, this study demonstrates that these two dialects and Persian share a common source rooted in the culture and languages of ancient Iran. First, Tati idioms were selected through fieldwork and library research, while Taleshi idioms were collected from the everyday speech of local people as well as through the linguistic intuition of the authors, who are native speakers of the Anbaran variety. They were then compared with their Persian equivalents. Subsequently, the linguistic features of the data, as well as their similarities and differences with the Persian examples, were categorized and examined. The findings of this study indicate that there has been a long history of cultural exchange and interaction among the Talesh, Tati, and Persian-speaking communities, although Persian has spread as the standard language in Iran and has served as the written language throughout the country.
