Documentation and Historical Dialectology of Lori (SW-Iran)

洛里语是伊朗西南部的一种语言。它分为北方和南方方言群，这两个群又进一步细分为许多地方方言。洛里是由CA说。3-4百万次伊朗西南部的一大片地区的人，覆盖（至少部分）约。伊朗10个省虽然关于洛里语的研究已经发表了很多，但对大多数洛里方言的可靠和全面的描述仍然缺失。在所有可用资源的基础上，并借助三种保守但尚未得到充分研究的方言的文献，试图从历史语言学的角度来分析洛里语的演变和形成，或者换句话说，为洛里方言的历史研究奠定了基础，包括对伊朗西南部诸语言从西伊朗语中分离出来的分析，以及洛里语（后来）从伊朗西南部语言中分离出来的分析。为了分离洛里（和其他SWIr。西伊朗语，即，对于它与伊朗西北部的分离，存在重要的初步研究。对于洛里与伊朗西南部的分离，几乎没有研究，因此该项目的分析重点将放在这个问题上。内部洛里发展和内部洛里方言的区别也必须分析，如洛里与其北方邻居拉基和库尔德的密切关系。这种关系似乎是最近的，必须从西南部的发展中单独研究。

Lori is genealogically classified as a southwest Iranian language. It is divided into a northern and a southern dialect group, both groups are further subdivided into many local dialects. Lori is spoken by ca. 3-4 Mio. people in a large area of Southwest Iran, covering (at least partly) ca. 10 Iranian provinces. Although many studies on Lori have already been published, reliable and comprehensive descriptions of most Lori dialects are still missing.On the basis of all sources available, and with the help of the documentation of three conservative and yet understudied dialects, an attempt will be made to analyze the evolution and formation of Lori in historical linguistic terms, or in other words, to lay the foundation for a historical dialectology of Lori.This includes the analysis of the separation of southwest Iranian languages from West Iranian, and the (later) separation of Lori from Southwest Iranian. For the separation of Lori (and the other SWIr. languages) from West Iranian, i.e., for its separation from Northwest Iranian, important preliminary studies exist. For the separation of Lori from Southwest Iranian, very few studies are available, the project's analytical focus will therefore be on this issue.Internal Lori developments and inner-Lori dialect distinctions also have to be analyzed, like the close relation of Lori to its northern neighbors Laki and Kurdish. This relation seems to be more recent, and has to be studied separately from the inner-southwest developments.
