Abstract
The purpose of this research is an analytical analysis of the compression process (including deletion and merging) in old cinematic films compared to new cinematic films in Persian language. The old cinematic films selected for this study include two films, "Kaiser" and "Treasure of the Qaroon," and new cinematic films that examine two films," Life+1 Day "and “Lottery.” The theoretical framework has been used in Cognitive Phonology, Bybee (1999). The method of the present study is descriptive-analytical, and data collection is in library method. All the data has been pulled out from the dialouge of films, which been examined the compression process in the old and new films separately. In this research, we first examine the Utterance and discourse of the intended films in detail. At the end of the work, the elements of the Persian language are analyzed. The results indicate that the compression process in Persian language films has been araised, and in cases where more compressions have been done, their frequency has been higher. That is, in " Life+1 Day and “Lottery’s film, there are more compression processes than "Kaiser" and Treasure of the Qaroon’s film. The fact that the two categories of nouns and verbs are part of the basic entity of a phrase, such that if these categories are frequent then they are compressed or eliminated. On the other hand, the presence of an adjective, adverb, or letter to describe the replacement of noun or verb in the conceptual connection, which is sufficient to represent them, and this will support with Bybee's view point. So the compression, deleting or merging processes in data has shown less frequently.
Highlights
In all languages of the world, processes known as phonological processes occur in folk speech
Qualitative data analysis included the survey and study of the deletion and merging processes in the mentioned films, and qualitative analysis was the drawing of tables and graphs for these processes, which are presented in the quantitative tables and charts following the qualitative analysis
It has been shown that the compression process is more evident in men than in women’s discourse
Summary
In all languages of the world, processes known as phonological processes occur in folk speech. In the Persian Language, these processes occur extensively. One of these processes is the process of deletion and merging, which are referred to as compression in this project. There is ample evidence to suggest that phonetic change or change processes affect words gradually and at different rates, and one of the determinants of this speed is the frequency of the word use. Bybee's (1999) suggestion to explain this effect is that changing processes occur at the moment and when the word is used. Each instance of a word's usage affects its representation in memory. Since the usage instances are different, the stored representation should include a set of variations. As the words gradually reduced, the comprehensive center of diversity is gradually shifted
