Abstract








M






etathesis is one of the
phonological processes that serves the phonotactic rules of the language to
improve the phonological structures of the language. Marked structures are not
regularly preferred in the languages, so, in trying to force the marked structures
of the language toward nonmarkedness, phonotactic rules of the language also
monitor all the structures that enter the language and change the dispreferred
structures in accordance with the universal principles and especially languages
parameter. This paper explained the diachronic performance of metathesis
process in Kalhori Kurdish. Four different kinds of this process have been
investigated, three of them have been explained based on the Optimality Theory
approach, and the last one has been presented and described, but a thorough
explanation will require more time and studies to the rareness of the
samples of its occurrence and consequently poorness of the understanding
and generalizations, which can be drawn from them.
