Abstract: (339 Views)
Among the Southwestern Iranian dialects, the Lori dialect is the closest to Persian, as both trace their origins back to Middle Persian. Lori is spoken across a wide geographical area in Iran and has approximately three million native speakers. The present study focuses on the Lori dialect as spoken in the city of Khorramabad, a region where this dialect is commonly used. This paper aims to investigate the phonological and phonetic processes of the Khorramabadi Lori dialect, including the transformation, alternation, and deletion of phonemes, and to compare these features with Standard Persian. The research methodology is based on content analysis, and the data have been collected both through the linguistic intuition of the author, who is a native speaker of this dialect, and from fieldwork. Additionally, several other phonological changes in the dialect are analyzed within the framework of generative phonology. These include processes such as metathesis, substitution, epenthesis, assimilation, dissimilation, and others.
