Persian syntax has been analyzed within various theoretical models to explore language specific rules that generate various syntactic structures such as passive, relative clause, interrogative, etc. This book offers a comprehensive, updated delineation of Persian syntax with reference to the P&P approach, which posits that the language faculty incorporates a set of principles of Universal Grammar (UG) that are invariant across languages and their associated parameters that vary from one language to another. In addition to the theoretical dimension of the approach, the book also examines the significant implications of the approach in the realms of first language acquisition, second language learning, translation, and language typology.

Dr. A. Soheili holds a Ba and MA in TFL and received a PhD in linguistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. He has more than thirty years of experience in teaching general linguistics, Persian, English, and the core areas in the field of Persian linguistics. He has a number of publications to his credit, including his works on the historical development of Persian grammar in its Eastern and Western branches. His latest work, A Dictionary of Persian Grammar, includes a comprehensive description of every grammatical entry in terms of a linguistic analysis, literary usage, and information about acquiring Persian.
