This paper investigates compensatory lengthening processes in Persian language based on Stratal Optimality Theory. Method of this survey is descriptive-analytic. Since Optimality Theory can’t analyze intermediate levels of morpho-phonemics processes, the presented study evaluates morpho-phonemics analysis in Persian within the framework of Stratal Optimality Theory. Stratal Optimality Theory posits constraint evaluation at three distinct levels or strata: stem, word and phrase level. This multi-level variation of the original OT model may provide more economical and elegant explanations. In this survey, attraction, glottal consonant deletion and compensatory lengthening processes are analyzed within Stratal Optimality Theory and the order of constraints in each level are indicated. Further cross-linguistic and theoretical research into the Stratal OT model is needed to establish its universality and superiority to other models.

Being a descriptive-analytic research in Persian language, the present study deals with morphophonological processes to examine the performance of Stratal Optimality Theory for the first time.  Stratal OT is a hybrid model of OT in which the insights of Lexical Phonology and Morphology are broadly combined with parallel OT. Stratal OT posits constraint evaluation at three distinct levels or strata: stem, word and phrase level and as such it can show the intermediate levels showing the formation of the optimal option. This multi-level variation of the original OT model may provide more economical and elegant explanations of problems involving opacity, derived environment effects than other Parallel OT theories that have been developed to address these issues.The data in this research have been collected through databases and written phonological resources. This paper studies deletion, insertion and compensatory lengthening processes within Stratal OT. The relevant constraints and their interactions in each level have been represented through different tablues. The results showed that Stratal OT has more explanatory power than Parallel OT to explain the mentioned  processes. Interestingly, Constraints at each level follow a consistent ranking pattern.

Kurdish is a widely spoken languages in four countries. This language has different dialects in some provinces of Iran such as Kurdistan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Hamedan, West Azerbaijan and Northern Khorasan. The two dialects of "Kormanji" and "Surani" are the most widely spoken ones in those provinces. "Dialects" are branches ramifying out of a single language but have phonetic, lexical and structural differences. The purpose of this research is to study some of the most frequent processes in the Kormanji dialect with regard to the "Moraic theory". The question of whether "compensatory lengthening" and "deletion" in this dialect and in the above theory are explainable is dealt with in this research. To answer this question, employing the field method, the data were collected through questionnaires answered by the native speakers and then the thesis and written sources were used. In the following, after describing the background of Moraic theory and its background, data analysis was performed through selected appropriate samples for each process and then their examination was done via the Moraic theory. In the end, it was concluded that theses processes are explainable in the framework of the Moraic theory.
