This dictionary of Persian grammar has certain distinctive features that make it more informative and attractive than other sources on Persian grammar. Every entry here begins with a thorough linguistic analysis, according to the latest developments in the field, followed by its literary usage, which is an integral part of the language and culture. The final part of the book deals with the developmental stages of acquiring Persian, as clear evidence for the origins of the linguistic descriptions. The value of this dictionary lies in its use as a three tiered compilation that meets the needs and demands of both instructors of Persian and students of Persian language and linguistics.
