Morphological Verb Features of Jooshani Dialect of Persian

Jooshani dialect is a dialect of Persian which belongs to Jooshan village, near Golbaf town in Kerman province in Iran. The data were gathered during eight years of one of the authors living in Jooshan. In this research, the morphology part of Jooshani dialect was studied. Verb morphology in the normal form is the same in Jooshani and Standard Persian (SP), but the structure “verb + subject inflectional ending + object inflectional ending” is different between Jooshani and SP. In Jooshani, the place of the last two parts of this structure (subject inflectional ending + object inflectional ending) is reversed. So, the verb “/zæd æm etun/” (I hit (past) you) in SP which consists of the three parts as the above structure, is pronounced as”/zed tun æm/” in Jooshani. The unique verb form of /dɑʃte bud/ (past participle of ‘to have’) with special meaning, is among other morphological features of Jooshani.
