“…However, several studies have examined the phonological CA of Persian and other languages, particularly English. 1 The literature review of previous research comparing the phonological system of Persian with that of 1 Notable studies among these include the works by Yarmohammadi (2002), Mirhassani (2003), Hayati (2005), Soltani (2007), Eghlidi (2016), andMoradi (2018). They focused mainly on identifying pronunciation errors among language learners and providing recommendations and pedagogical solutions by comparing and contrasting the sound systems, phonetic differences, and suprasegmental features of Persian and English.…”

One of the primary and crucial steps in teaching or learning a second language is the initial familiarization of adult learners with the major structures of the target language, i.e., its phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic features. To this end, contrastive analysis (CA) can help learners gain a good understanding of the linguistic similarities and differences between two languages. Persian and Serbian both belong to the Indo-European language family, and although some similarities can be found between the two languages, there are also significant differences in their structures. In this paper, the phonological system and syllable patterns of Persian and Serbian are reviewed and compared to determine which phonemes are present in Persian that are absent in Serbian and to investigate the challenges that Serbian learners of Persian face in producing the unique Persian phonemes. The paper also presents and discusses some examples of phonological errors made by Serbian learners that can be reflected and identified in orthography, using the Salam Farsi Learner Corpus. The results of the study can be used by researchers in theoretical linguistics and especially by instructors of Persian for Serbian learners.

“…There are some differences between the Persian and English vowel systems (19) ; thus, it is necessary to study Persian subjects to compare their results with those of English subjects. This is the first study evaluating Iranian patients' voices with non-laryngeal cancers treated with radiation therapy, using noninvasive methods.…”

The effects of (chemo) radiation therapy on the voice and quality of life in patients with non-laryngeal head and neck cancers: a subjective and objective assessment

Background: Factors affecting the patient's voice and Quality of Life (QOL) by means of Persian Voice Handicap Index (VHI) are important in non-laryngeal Head and Neck Cancers (HNCs) following (chemo)radiation therapy. This study aimed to investigate the vocal problems caused by (chemo)radiation therapy among Iranian patients with non-laryngeal HNCs and to evaluate the factors affecting the patient's voice QOL by means of Persian VHI. Material and Methods: Seventy patients with non-laryngeal Head and Neck Cancers (HNCs) were treated by radiation therapy, and eighty individuals with normal voice were considered. Acoustic analysis and self-assessment with the Persian VHI questionnaire were performed before, during, and 6 months after the treatment. Normal subjects were tested once. Changes in the acoustic parameters and VHI questionnaire scores over the time and their correlation was assessed using statistical analysis. The effect of important factors on the patient's voice and QOL in different groups was investigated. Results: The results showed that the acoustic parameters except mean F0, and questionnaire data deteriorated significantly (P < 0.001) during the treatment and improved at the final assessment, but not to the initial level. There was a significant relationship between some of the acoustic parameters and subgroups of the VHI questionnaire at the end and 6 months after treatment. Chemotherapy, mean laryngeal dose and smoking were factors that affecting the patient's QOL. Conclusions: Radiation dose in non-laryngeal tumor in HNCs causes laryngeal damage and vocal problems. Acoustic analysis and Persian VHI questionnaire were two valuable methods in evaluating the patients' voice and QOL. Radiation dose, chemotherapy and smoking greatly impact the aggravation of vocal problems.

The paper presents the results of a complex study of сonsonantal phonemes' syntagmatics, registered at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the word throughout the historical development of the English language. The analysis of frequencies of consonantal clusters' actualization allowed the author to characterize the regularities of their occurring within the word structure as well as describe dynamics of their changes during the history of English. The following issues common for different languages are the main aspects for consideration of the problem elaborated in the paper: the emergence of new phonemic sequences (combinability), the occurrence of phonemic changes at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the word, the emergence of new phonemes and phonologization processes of the already existing ones, new functional load of phonemes and their ability to combine, the suitability of consonants to join new clusters, the study of the phenomenon of phonemic borrowing, substitution processes, the study of the consonantal clusters' structures as well as frequencies of their occurrence. The research methodology is based on the classification of linguistic features of consonantal clusters as well as envisages their description in correlation with the historical period of the feature manifestation, the position of the cluster in the word, the number of phonemes in a cluster, the ratio of voice and noise, the place and manner of consonant articulation.
