Discourse Features in Balochi of Sistan : (Oral Narratives)
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This work presents a first study of discourse features in Balochi narratives of Sistan. Discourse analysis investigates what are the properties that make for well-formed texts in a language. There are many approaches to discourse analysis and most approaches focus on a particular aspect of text formation. The approach to text linguistics or discourse analysis taken in this work is based on Dooley and Levinsohn’s Analyzing Discourse: A manual of basic concepts (2001). Their methodology has been refined over years of practical use and, among diverse methodologies, they follow a functional and cognitive approach. In this dissertation, Roberts’ (2009) application of Dooley and Levinsohn’s methodology to Persian is followed in the study of our Sistani Balochi text corpus. In chapters 2-7 this approach is applied to Balochi narrative text. Chapter two introduces the reader to the discourse-pragmatic structuring of sentences in BS and chapter three shows how different syntactic devices can distinguish foreground and background information in BS oral texts. In chapter four we study the deixis of time and place and how the concept of proximal and distal deixis applies across a range of deictic elements. Chapter five examines some basic connectives and how they link propositions in the discourse context, and in chapter six reported speech is studied. Chapter seven illustrates how different participants are introduced into a discourse and how their activation status is signalled throughout the discourse. Appendix 1 contains details of the Balochi text-corpus used, and Appendix 2 contains interlinearized versions of ten of the main texts used in the study. A CD with nine audio files and one video file of the ten texts from Appendix 2, plus one extra video file, is also included.

On the translatability of Persian ghazals into Balochi and vice versa

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is usually difficult to translate poems from one language into another keeping both the original form and meaning. However, between languages which are very close to each other structurally and genetically, especially when one of these languages is under the influence of the other one, there is often a higher degree of translatability than between unrelated languages. Also, when the speakers of the two languages share a common cultural framework of reference because of shared literary traditions including common poetic techniques, the form and meaning of the poems can be preserved to a considerable degree when they are translated. Geographically, spreading from Asia Minor in the north-west to Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent in the north-east and south-east, respectively, Persian literature has had a strong influence on the local and national literatures of these areas. The great Iranian classical poets developed philosophical, mystical, moral and love themes which also influenced poets for generations. In addition, allusions and poetic imagery which they used spread along with their relatively concrete vocabulary to poetry in the the above mentioned areas in general, and to Balochi poetry in particular. In this brief survey, the translatability of Persian and Balochi ghazals from one language to the other has been examined according to form, poetic imagery and lexicon.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present paper introduces the Shahugat inscription which was recently discovered near Tabaktal village in Chahan district near Nikshahr in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. This inscription refers to some events which occurred in the early eighth century on the southern coasts of Iran and can be matched with certain icidents which have been recorded in historical sources. The conflicts among the rulers of the southern rregions and islands of Iran, such as Shiraz, Hormoz, Kish, and Qeshm, in order to gain control of the roads and commercial benefits not only in the Persian Gulf and Makran Sea regions but also on the coasts of India were one of the reasons for some people seeking shelter in the highlands of Makran and engraving this inscription.

- The importance of inscriptions as the primary sources refer to historical events is undeniable. Introducing the Shāhugat inscriptions were found near Tābaktal village of Chāhān district around Nikshahr is the purpose of present paper. They refer to the events that occurred in south Iran around the end of the 7th and the beginning of the 8th centuries AH., a colorful and turbulent period of its history, some of which can be easily adapted to the historical sources. The invasion of Chagatai Mongols to Shiraz and Hormuz, the conflicts between the rulers of districts and southern islands such as Shiraz, Hormuz, kish and Qeshm to hold the roads and commercial interests are among the reasons that made some of the people to refuge the highlands of Makrān and subsequently led to these inscriptions.

The Role of Natural Phenomena in the Rise and Fall of Urban Areas in the Sistan Basin on the Iranian Plateau (Southern Delta)
- 2010
-
Ingår i: The Urban Mind. - Uppsala : Uppsala University. ; , s. 221-241

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In ancient times, and even today, water resources, especially rivers, were the main reasons for the existence of human settlements and the formation of the idea of urbanity in the people's minds. This phenomenon can be seen in all places where ancient civilizations were established, e.g. in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Transoxiana and Sind due to the rivers Nile, Tigries and Euphrates, Amu Darya and Syr Darya and Sind, respectively. The Helmand civilization, therefore, was not an exception. Furthermore, after passing a long distance through a desert, the Helmand River reaches the Sistan basin which is a closed inland delta surronded by terribly dry deserts from every side. This special situation makes the Sistan basin and interesting area for attracting human settlements. The abundance of water in the southern delta of the Helmand River, the oldest one of the two deltas, created a suitable environmental situation for the people during the fourth millennium BC to settle and establish the only large urban centre, i.e. Shahr-i Sokhta, in the eastern part of the Iranian plateau in Sistan. Natural phenomena such as climate change at the end of the third millennium BC, long droughts, change of the river bed because of tectonic phenomena at the level of the continental platform and violent dust storms caused people to abandon the area after a thousand year of flourishing. Some settlements were established in different parts of the southern delta in intervals after the collapse of Shahr-i Sokhta up to the 18th century. However, considering the small amount of water this delta received, an urban settlement like Shahr-i Sokhta was never established again. Even in the southern delta, where the inhabitants of Shahr-i Sokhta might have moved, no such large prehistoric urban settlement was found, perhaps due to constant floods, droughts and the famous Wind of One Hundred and Twenty Days which buried buman settlements and blocked the irrigation canals.

The Third Person Singular Pronominal Clitic in Balochi of Sistan : A Progress Report
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Stuadia Iranica. - Paris, France : Peeters Publishers. - 0221-5004. ; 43:2, s. 203-220
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper begins by discussing the distribution of the two allomorphs of the third person singular pronominal clitic in Balochi of Sistan. It finds the conditioning to be mostly, but not exclusively phonological. When =ī is attached to the final verb of an independent clause, the referent is the subject/agent but, when =ē occurs, it is the undergoer (with a few exceptions due to dialectal variation). It follows that, when the subject is stated but =ī is also present, =ī still refers to the subject and gives it thematic prominence. The second part of the paper argues that the presence of the pronominal clitic with the past form of the verb ‘say’ (gušt=ī) communicates 'referent continuity' (Givón 1990); in particular, the ongoing involvement in the expected role of any active third person participant who is not identified by a noun or independent pronoun in the current clause.

A study of Persian discourse structure
- 2009. - 1st
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This work presents a first study of Persian discourse structure(s). It also integrates syntactic analysis with discourse analysis. In order to achieve this, Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) (see Van Valin (1993, 2004) and Van Valin and LaPolla (1997)) is used as the preferred model of syntax, since amongst current formal and functional syntactic theories only this approach has components which link directly to discourse structures. Since there is no general theory of discourse structure available, the main linguistic features that contribute to the formation of a coherent text are studied and analyzed with respect to Persian narrative discourse. An analytical methodology to discourse analysis, as set out in Dooley and Levinsohn (2001), is followed for this purpose. Chapter 2 introduces the basic axioms and principles of RRG and chapter 3 presents the approach to text analysis that is followed. In chapters 4-7 this approach is applied to Persian narrative text and covers coherence and cohesion, thematic groupings, the activation status of referents in a discourse, the discourse-pragmatic structuring of sentences, foreground and background information, semantic relations between propositions, the status of conversations in a narrative discourse, and the coding of participant reference. Appendix 1 contains details of the Persian text-corpus used, appendix 2 contains interlinearized versions of two of the main texts used in the study plus one additional text, and appendix 3 contains the participant reference analysis charts for these two texts.
