페르시아어 친족어 변화 고찰

study on changes in Persian kinship terms

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the morphological-semantic changes of Persian kinship terms from a diachronic point of view, and also to analyze cultural characteristics of Persian society which are revealed in Persian kinship terms. To examine those features, we sort out the kinship terms from version B and C of Hui-hui-guan-yi-yu, which are assumed to be published between 15th century and 17th century, and compare these terms with the terms in Iranian and Dari Persian. By doing so, we found the morphological changes as well as semantic changes. Moreover, we concluded that the paternal-centered vocabulary list reflects the paternal-centered culture of Persian-speaking societies, and that the family-centered culture influenced the diversity of Persian kinship terms.
