These two fields, like other areas of linguistics, have undergone rapid advances in the past decade due to developments in experimental methods and phonological models. These changes render Iranian languages and their varieties a promising area of research which can make a significant contribution to general linguistic knowledge, and advance our understanding of cross-linguistic variation. The spread of Iranian language family is wide ranging, from Central Turkey in the west to the Uygur region of China in the east. In the North, it includes Ossetic and Yaghnobi, while in the South it includes languages such as Kumzari spoken in part of Oman. Despite the wide range of Iranian languages, only four of these languages are the official languages of the country in whichthey are spoken: Persian, Dari, Tajik, and Pashto. As a result, many Iranian languages have not been the prime goal of organizations\/agencies which try to document and preserve languages. This handbook offers readers a state-of-the-art report of research in the field with a special emphasis on these less-studied Iranian languages and varieties. Relevant to linguists working in phonetics, both in Iranian and other languages, this book provides an overview of cutting edge and current linguistic knowledge.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia,serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eDr. Reza Falahati\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003e is a lecturer of phonetics and phonology at Vrije University and Leiden University. \u003c\/span\u003eHe also has the experience of teaching academic English writing and reading courses in the Netherlands, Canada, and Iran. \u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003eThe results of his research have been presented in conferences and published in volumes by the \u003cem\u003eRoutledge, Palgrave Macmillan, Springer\u003c\/em\u003e, and various journals such as \u003cem\u003eESP across Cultures \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Journal of the Canadian Acoustical Association\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia,serif;\"\u003eHis academic background includes a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Ottawa and a Master’s in Linguistics from the University of Victoria and his second Master's in Education with a focus on Teaching English as a Foreign Language from the University of Tehran. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Zahra Ghane\u003c\/strong\u003e is a linguist whose research focuses on discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, phonology, and the syntax–pragmatics interface, with a particular emphasis on Persian.
