Research Abstract

This project aims at making a tentative database on Persian literature and culture with computer assistance.
For this purpose the Persian Epic '**********' _*is o _*amin) comprising 8908 couplets was chosen as material covering the fields of the life, customs, education, faith and thought of Iranian women. Each couplet of the Epic was fed into a personal computer (PC) for data processing.
To achieve the project, some programs were developed for printing out Persian script, making Persian script font, sorting extracted words (tokens) according to Persian alphabetical order, finding the types with their frequencies, etc.
The report of this project to be submitted consists of three parts. The contents of each part are as follows:
Part I
Articles
