The present study introduces the Persian Sentence Reading (PSR) Corpus, aiming to expand empirical data for Persian, an under-investigated language in research on oculomotor control in reading. Reading research has largely focused on Latin script languages with a left-to-right reading direction. However, languages with different reading directions, such as right-to-left and top-to-bottom, and particularly Persian script-based languages like Farsi and Dari, have remained understudied. This study pioneers in providing an eye movement dataset for reading Persian sentences, enabling further exploration of the influences of unique Persian characteristics on eye movement patterns during sentence reading. The core objective of the study is to provide data about how word characteristics impact eye movement patterns. The research also investigates the characteristics of the interplay between neighboring words and eye movements on them. By broadening the scope of reading research beyond commonly studied languages, the study aims to contribute to an interdisciplinary approach to reading research, exemplifying investigations through various theoretical and methodological perspectives.
本研究引入了波斯语句子阅读（PSR）语料库，旨在扩充波斯语的实证数据，波斯语在阅读眼动控制研究中是一种研究较少的语言。阅读研究主要集中在从左到右阅读方向的拉丁字母语言上。然而，具有不同阅读方向的语言，如从右到左和从上到下，尤其是基于波斯文字的语言，如波斯语和达里语，仍未得到充分研究。本研究率先提供了一个用于阅读波斯语句子的眼动数据集，从而能够进一步探索波斯语独特特征对句子阅读过程中眼动模式的影响。该研究的核心目标是提供有关单词特征如何影响眼动模式的数据。该研究还调查了相邻单词之间相互作用的特征以及对它们的眼动情况。通过将阅读研究的范围扩展到常见研究语言之外，该研究旨在为阅读研究的跨学科方法做出贡献，通过各种理论和方法视角进行实例研究。
