the concept of tense is an important issue in the morphological and syntactic analysis of words and sentences. the connection between this concept and other parts of the sentence, including the verb, and understanding its structural, semantic and conceptual differences has always been considered by russian and persian linguists. in this article, various types of direct and figurative applicatio...

Nowadays, Wordnet is used in natural language processing as one of the major linguistic resources. Having such a resource for Persian language helps researchers in computational linguistics and natural language processing fields to develop more accurate systems with higher performances. In this research, we propose a model for semi-automatic construction of Persian wordnet of verbs. Compound ve...

in order to develop an understanding of the rhetorical conventions in the persian language and to find out the metadiscursive cultural norms of iranian writers in their native language writings, it is necessary to probe into the implicit rhetorical features of academic writing which has so far eluded a comprehensive systematic characterization. metadiscourse marking, which is supposed to be one...

In this article, we have introduced the first parallel corpus of Persian with more than 10 other European languages. This article describes primary steps toward preparing a Basic Language Resources Kit (BLARK) for Persian. Up to now, we have proposed morphosyntactic specification of Persian based on EAGLE/MULTEXT guidelines and specific resources of MULTEXT-East. The article introduces Persian ...

This paper is an attempt to exclusively focus on investigating the pivot language technique in which a bridging language is utilized to increase the quality of the Persian–Spanish low-resource Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). In this case, English is used as the bridging language, and the Persian–English SMT is combined with the English–Spanish one, where the relatively large corpora of e...

teaching the grammatical tenses is considered to be one of the most controversial challenges among teachers and researchers in teaching persian language to non-persian speakers. prioritizing the tenses in accordance with their frequency could greatly facilitate the process of language learning. in this research, a comparison has been made between the frequency of the tenses in spoken and writte...

This study explored the nature of transfer among bilingual vs. trilinguals with varying levels of competence in English and their previous languages. The hypotheses were tested in writing tasks designed for 75 high (N= 35) vs. intermediate (N=40) proficient EFL learners with Turkish, Persian, English and Persian, English linguistic backgrounds. Qualitative data were also collected through some ...

Development of robust spoken language technology ideally relies on the availability of large amounts of data preferably in the target domain and language. However, more often than not, speech developers need to cope with very little or no data, typically obtained from a different target domain. This paper focuses on developing techniques towards addressing this challenge. Specifically we consid...
