About the Book

This volume presents the results of a major three-year longitudinal study (2023-2025) at Ilam University's AZFA Center on Persian acquisition by Iraqi Arabic-speaking learners. Based on an unprecedented corpus--847 hours of spoken data and 1.18 million written words from 312 learners (A2-B2)--it ranks among the most comprehensive investigations of this language pair.
Despite extensive lexical and typological overlap, Arabic L1 learners show persistent difficulties with the ezafe construction, compound verbs, and certain phonological contrasts--challenges predicted by contrastive analysis but previously under-documented empirically.
Through detailed error analysis and interlanguage tracking, this book identifies which predicted issues truly persist, offering robust evidence to replace intuition with data.
SLA researchers gain a richly documented case of Persian interlanguage in an understudied population, advancing understanding of cross-linguistic influence in closely related, high-contact languages.
Persian instructors working with Arabic speakers receive clear, evidence-based insights into genuine trouble spots plus practical pedagogical recommendations.
Curriculum developers and program administrators find concrete, data-driven guidance for designing effective Persian programs tailored to Arabic L1 learners.
An essential resource for applied linguistics, second language acquisition, and language contact studies.



About the Author :

Dr. Amir Karimipour is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Linguistics at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and an adjunct lecturer at Ilam University's AZFA Center, where he specializes in teaching Persian to foreign learners. He completed his PhD in Linguistics at the University of Isfahan (2015-2019) using the brilliant talents quota, with research focusing on cognitive-typological approaches to Kurdish and Persian linguistics. His postdoctoral research (2019-2020) advanced his expertise in second language acquisition, bilingualism, and task-based language teaching. Dr. Karimipour has published extensively in international peer-reviewed journals including Onomázein, Voprosy Jazykoznanija, STUF - Language Typology and Universals, Dialectologia, LenguasModernas, and Studia Linguistica Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis, with research spanning cognitive semantics, morphosyntax, phonetics, and bilingual education. Between 2023 and 2025, he directed the longitudinal Persian acquisition study at AZFA Center that forms the empirical foundation of this book, tracking 312 Iraqi Arabic-speaking learners across 24 months with comprehensive linguistic assessment. His teaching experience spans over a decade, including instruction in Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language (TPFL) at both Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (2011-2012) and Ilam University (2024-present), alongside extensive work teaching English as a foreign language. He serves on the advisory board of the International Journal of Kurdish Studies and as a reviewer for the Journal of Linguistics & Khorasan Dialects. Dr. Karimipour is a native speaker of Southern Kurdish and Persian with professional proficiency in English, bringing multilingual insight to his pedagogical approach.
