Explains stemming and affix processing in ARGUS search, including benefits, limitations, and implications for query construction. Provides guidance on Arabic and Persian stemmer behavior in Newsstand.

Describes linguistic and orthographic variation in Persian blogs from Iran and the diaspora. Examines relationships between literary and conversational Persian in online writing, focusing on Iranian Persian rather than Afghan or Tajiki varieties.

Provides Persian-specific guidelines for identifying temporal expressions, representing their meanings, and determining annotation boundaries. Addresses dates, times, durations, and context-dependent expressions through examples that extend the TIDES annotation standard.

Contrasts two types of Persian bare singular nouns in referentiality, modification, case, and dependence on the verb. Argues for an account based on parallel nominal and verbal structures rather than noun incorporation or pseudo-incorporation.

Examines the relationship between auxiliary placement, focus, sentential stress, and syntactic structure in Eastern Armenian.

Describes Iranian Persian personal names, including compound given names, surnames, affixes, titles, and honorifics. Examines how writing conventions and variation in English transcription create challenges for automatic name recognition and matching.

Examines how verbal and nonverbal components jointly contribute to telicity in Persian complex predicates. Proposes different structures for locatum and instrumental constructions, relating their aspectual behavior to the nominal element's position within the verb phrase.

Examines challenges facing English-speaking learners of Persian, including its writing system, morphology, word order, complex predicates, and diglossia. Discusses how linguistic patterns and computational resources can support instruction and reduce reliance on memorization.

Develops an account of case, agreement, and interpretation based on parallel nominal and verbal structures. Drawing on Finnish, Scots Gaelic, and Eastern Armenian, argues that relations between corresponding functional projections connect grammatical morphology with aspect, quantity, and specificity.

Explores how resources for Iranian Persian can support machine translation of Tajiki Persian. A finite-state transliterator converts Cyrillic text to Persian script, using contextual, morphological, and lexical information to resolve ambiguities.

Proposes a compositional approach to translating Persian complex predicates, deriving meaning from their internal structure rather than listing each expression as a fixed lexical unit. Addresses productive verb formation, separable constructions, and shared semantic representations for multilingual translation.

Examines the relationship between auxiliary placement, sentential stress, and syntactic structure in Eastern Armenian. Proposes that, in neutral contexts, the auxiliary attaches to the highest constituent within the verbal domain, which carries the main stress.
