The present study, by adopting a computational -quantitative approach and applying modern dialectometric methods, uses aggregative analysis for Barahui dialect common in Rudbar-e jonub dialect located in Kerman province. In this regard, with the help of the software packages of dilatometry and mapping, it represents the geographical distribution of linguistic variables in this language variety. In order to collect data, a questionnaire containing 208 words and 10 basic sentences was used based on the questionnaires of “Iran’s national language atlas project” and “Morris Swadesh basic list words”. The results of data analysis and processing showed that this language variety has similarities and differences with the common Rudbari dialect in Rudbar-e Jonub region. The common feature of this language variety with the Roudbari dialect is the labialized consonants /gʷ/ and /χʷ/, trilled /r/, allophones /Iə/ and /ʊə/, fronting, and debuccalization. Its difference with Rudbari dialect is the use of Barahui special words, infinitive affix /-eng/, plural affixes /æk/ and /k/, continuity aspect /-æ/, negative imperative affixes /pæ/ and /fæ/ , negative affixes /pæ/، /piə/، /p/، /fæ/، /f/، /to/، /t/ and finally, the special use of tense, moos and aspect.

The main objective of this qualitative study was to examine the relationships between teachers and language learners based on the care theory proposed by Noddings (1998) and Logstrup (1997). In this research, the concept of care is explored in relation to linguistic aspects such as verbal interaction and meaning transfer, through which a caring relationship between the teacher and the student is established. Data were collected through interviews with ten language learners in these schools. The data were then analyzed using the coding stages of grounded theory (Corbin & Strauss, 1990) and MAXQDA software version 24. In this research, 22 sub-codes and four main codes were identified, leading to the development of a new theoretical model for the teacher-student care relationship. The main categories of this relationship included communication and interaction, teaching methods, understanding and support, and individual characteristics of teachers. Additionally, the subcategories encompassed: respect, reciprocal relationships, individual attention, patient listening to students, dialogue with students, relational literacy, teacher courage in initiating care relationships, honesty, compassion, encouragement, full engagement, motivational shifts, emotional support, trust-based communication, supportive environments, appropriate teaching methods, teacher availability, student interaction, realistic expectations from students, responsiveness, and the incorporation of fun and humor. Ultimately, this research demonstrates how psychological characteristics of language and applied linguistics can play a significant role in understanding and enhancing educational communications. The findings of this study suggest several educational implications for policymakers, teachers, and language learners from a psychological perspective, aiming to enhance their understanding and application of the concept of ‘care,’ which will contribute to teachers' professional growth and improve students' educational outcomes.

Face-to-face education closed during the Corona era, leading to online education. To utilize this significant aspect to its full potential and prepare for other emergencies, it is essential to examine its dimensions in detail. The teachers who attended this training may have valuable feedback about its quality. This study has examined teachers' opinions and suggestions regarding online education during the Covid-19 outbreak. The study has used a qualitative methodology, and the results have been analyzed using MAXQDA (2020). Three phases of content analysis have been conducted. The data have been reduced by coding, structured by categorizing, and interpreted by discussing. The findings shows that online learning maintains and strengthens the quality of learning and teaching. Students become more responsible, independent, and active. Media literacy and digital literacy improve. Resources, time, and costs can be managed. Despite its advantages, it also has some disadvantages that might reduce student learning. Inadequate internet access and a lack of media literacy are some of these weaknesses, which hinder teachers and students from taking full advantage of online education. Students' progress is also difficult to monitor and evaluate for teachers. As a result of improper Internet use, students and teachers might suffer physical, mental, and psychological injuries. Probably the root cause of the associated problems lies in the lack of preparation for such a broad use of this form of education. It appears that detailed and calculated macro-level planning can resolve the issue.

This article presents the phonotactic principles dominant in Azerbaijani Turkish language Ardabil dialect in Optimality Theory. Phonotactics refers to the constraints on the co-occurrence of sounds within a language. Based on these constraints, one can determine which consonants can appear together in clusters and if hiatus is permissible in this language, that is, is it acceptable the vowels occur adjacent or not. Based on the phonological constraints of this language, it is determined what syllable structures are permissible. The phonotactic principles governing Ardabil dialect include four key principles: the Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP), the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP), the Syllable Contact Law, and the Maximal Onset Principle. The analysis of data in Ardabil dialect within Optimality Theory reveals that all four principles are active and dominant in this dialect. If these principles are violated in certain cases, phonological processes such as insertion and deletion are applied to prevent the occurrence of impermissible structures.

The field of word selection or equalization is one of the fields that the experts of the Persian Language and Literature Academy have decided to use organized and methodical word selection in order to comply with the principles of preserving the Persian language and for the survival of the Persian language as a language of science.In the present research, a case study of the equivalent words found in the biology textbook is done and it is intended to measure the acceptability of the specialized words found equivalent in Persian language in the first and second high school biology courses. The basis approved by the Academy of Persian Language and Literature and based on the criteria of word formation and word selection should be reviewed. The research method is qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative method, a closed attitude questionnaire was given to 50 students individually, and in the quantitative method, the data were expressed with statistical analysis to determine the effect of the equivalent vocabulary on The process of learning and teaching materials should be measured. The results of the research show a significant difference according to the construction of the found equivalent vocabulary.That is, students with the same specialized Latin terms and vocabulary can better conceptualize the meaning of words and teachers have more mastery in teaching vocabulary and specialized terms. For this reason, the words have been divided into three categories (familiar, relatively familiar and unfamiliar) and the students' opinions about all the equivalent words were analyzed and the result was negative. The opinion of the students indicates that the provided equivalents are not suitable for unfamiliar words. But the equivalents presented for familiar and relatively familiar words are more appropriate in their opinion.
