Abstract: (2469 Views) |
Language reform is one of the most controversial reforms in the process of modernization. Hence, language engineering is regarded as a risky social-political experimentation in any country. In Iran, The Berliners, an influential school of thought in Iranian intellectualism, were the pioneers of Persian reform. Through their activities including publishing treatises, journals, and holding conferences in Iran and Europe, they formed the most active intellectual group of Iranian immigrants in the contemporary era. Exploring their journals reveals they adopted a pathological approach to language-related problems in addition to proposing practical reform solutions. The Berliners’ Journals also adopted a moderate policy toward describing the challenges faced by the Persian language and criticized reforms through purging mechanisms. Considering the importance of The Berliners and their influential journals in the process of Persian reform, the present paper explores the role of these publications in language engineering in Iran.
