Documentation and Historical Dialectology of Lori (SW-Iran)

洛里语被归类为伊朗西南部的一种语言。它分为北方方言群和南方方言群，这两个群又进一步细分为许多当地方言。萝莉是大约3-4米欧人说的。人们在伊朗西南部的大片地区，覆盖(至少部分)大约10个伊朗省份。尽管已经发表了许多关于洛里语的研究，但对大多数洛里语方言的可靠和全面的描述仍然缺乏。在现有所有资料的基础上，借助三种保守但研究较少的方言的文献资料，试图从历史语言学的角度分析洛里语的演变和形成，或者换句话说，为洛里语的历史方言学奠定基础。这包括分析伊朗西南部语言与西伊朗语的分离，以及(后来)洛里语与伊朗西南地区的分离。用于分离Lori(和另一个SWIR。语言)从西伊朗分离出来，即从伊朗西北部分离出来，有重要的初步研究。对于Lori与伊朗西南部的分离，可用的研究很少，因此该项目的分析重点将放在这个问题上。还必须分析Lori内部的发展和内部Lori方言的区别，例如Lori与其北部邻国Laki和库尔德人的密切关系。这种关系似乎是较新的，必须与内西南地区的发展分开研究。

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.
