Mousa Mahmoud Zehi گروه زبان و زبان‌شناسی، دانشگاه سیستان و بلوچستان author text article 2006 per The morphology and conjugation of simple verb compared in two new Iranian languages_ Balochi and Persian_ in this paper. The comparison indicates that the morphology and conjugation systems of the simple verb in Balochi and Persian are similar in some aspects, while different in some others. Generally the contents of the paper indicate that: The number of simple verbs in Balochi is more in comparison with that of Persian, and the ability of word-formation through derivation is easier in Balochi than in Persian. The differences and similarities are mostly based on the rule-governed changes of Iranian languages. Balochi has more preserved the features of many simple verbs of older Iranian languages than Persian, and Persian has involved more historical changes. The mutual usage of morphological and conjugational features of Balochi and Persian can be more useful for the enrichment of these two Iranian languages.

It seems that 'coherence' and the related terms have veiled a significant linguistic feature, namely, the non-linear nature of revelations which could be used to make a distinction between ordinary and Quranic discourse. I will argue that to unveil the non-linearity, we should consider revelations in relation to a divinity that reveals itself in language not as an ordinary speaker whose speech is limited to a certain context, with a beginning and an end. We should not expect God to speak like a man. The Quran, thus is seen here as a non-temporal, non-linear text that reflects its divine origin, by systematically destructing the temporal context, the linear order of language and the speaking subject.

In this paper, after a review of the principles of cognitive semantics, some of the definitions of the category of “preposition” in traditional frameworks have been presented and then the cognitive semantic approach towards prepositions has been introduced. Finally the Persian preposition “dar/tooye” has been studied within the cognitive semantic frame. It is shown that the cognitive approach presents a more illustrative explanation of spatial prepositions, due to its notions of schemata, figure, ground, construal, etc.     Linguistics Society of Iran 23223847 2 v. 3 no. 2006 33 46 http://lsi-linguistics.ihcs.ac.ir/article_1614_3cd6ed60af9f06e1b93ecc30bea2cbbc.pdf Mehrdad Sepehri عضو هیئت علمی دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد شهرکرد author text article 2006 per The purpose of this article is to introduce concordancing as an innovative educational technology with which language practitioners may reach some of their goals in their language studies and language teaching. Concordancing ,as defined by Tim Johns (1991),  is “researching the company that words keep ”.The aim of such kind of research is to investigate different aspects of a particular word like different meanings, grammatical contexts  in which it is used, and other words with which  it collocates. Concordancing software is a tool that allows for the creation of discovery-based and exploratory learning materials. Its basic function is to extract lists with sample contexts of any word or structure being searched for. Such lists can then be used as a basis for what Tim Johns (1991) refers to as Data-Driven Learning (DDL).This article tries to elaborate on the issue. One of the implications of concordancing is to provide dictionary compilers with large collections of texts drawn from both written and spoken language. These collections of texts can be the most reliable sources from which lexicographers can obtain their data for compiling a dictionary As far as language teaching and language learning are concerned, Concordancing as a new method of Computer Assisted Language Learning(CALL) may solve a large number of practical problems particularly in the area of exploiting authentic resources. The present article gives some practical exercise examples through which language learners may learn a lot about any given word in the language. Word meanings, grammatical patterns in which a given word may appear, and word collocations are some pieces of information obtained from these kinds of exercises.

It has been shown that there are some criticisms on this approach by using the data gained from the study of aphasics and the new neuroimaging techniques used in the recent 17 years to determine the places which are activated in the brain and the ways these places act through the language tasks. The results show that we need to be very careful to accept the modularity approach, at least in the way that it has been presented in the classic model.

It will not only refer to techniques used in this method, but it will also analyse its underlying epistemological orientations (Schwandt 2000; Schweizer 1998). It will mainly focus on two different version of Grounded Theory, namely the positivist and the social constructivist (Charmaz 2000). Finally, it will situate grounded theory within the social turn movement (Gee 2000) in the social sciences / humanities and will argue for its application in a number of sociolinguistic areas of research.

Three different scientists have written article due to this point of view. According to Benvéniste Indo-Europeans were able to heal the diseases and the healer had a great power. Puhvel claims that indo – European medicine was more a social, religious and mythological Phenomenon and was not considered as a science. Dumézil's observation that Indo-European medicine functions in the third estate and paradigmatically consists of three parts provides a theoretical framework for deeper analysis of individual systems of healing in Indo-European cultures.

The reason why was that a family was found whose in the half of the members some language disorders were observed. Naturally when it’s the matter of occurrence of a case in different generations, it comes to the mind that something related to the genes should be involved in. In this paper the findings of different scholars in this case and the results we can get from these findings have been presented. Although there are some evidences which protect the idea of involving the genes in language acquisition in human beings, we can’t claim that the complicated and vital phenomenon like language can be emerged by the activity of a single gene in the human body. It can be just said that a gene has been found which has a kind of relationship with language in the way that if something goes wrong with that, some language disorders will appear but it’s not quite clear whether these disorders are the primary or secondary complication of the gene impairment.

The subject of the paper is about "the segments of Persian (Farsi)" in the Handbook of the International Phonetic Association: A Guide to the Use of the IPA, 1999: 124-125. A number of Iranian phonologists held three meetings to discuss the problems which were existed in the paper. They then, stated the shortcomings and incorrect information and at the end, they made it correct. This article indicates the results of the meetings discussions.

What is preferably referred to here as the evolutionary movement of applied linguistics, commenced in the 1940s and with the positivist view of applied linguistics. In the 1960s, however, the field was inclined towards extensive positivism and the phase of extended paradigm model arose out of these attempts. The third phase of applied linguistics studies and endeavors belongs to 1970s and is mostly referred to as the mediatory approach or multi-disciplinary model. Second language acquisition research constitutes the next stage of applied linguistics attempts. This phase was dominant during the 1980s. The fifth step of applied linguistics studies is that of constructivism coming to the scene in 1990s. Finally, the last era of applied linguistics studies emerged out of the recent post-structuralist attempts and it is still the dominant aspect through which several critical studies have been configured. A point to be borne in mind is that applied linguistics is a problem-based and real-life oriented discipline. Last but not the least, the concept of critical studies, especially critical applied linguistics is a matter requiring to be probed with more depth and contemplation.
