ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />

I would like to acknowledge my committee members, Brenda Boerger, Pete<br />

Unseth, and Arden Sanders, for their much needed guidance and encouragement. I am<br />

also deeply grateful to Shivan Tovi and Perwer Shushi for the many hours they selflessly<br />

gave me, answering my many questions concerning the poems in the corpus and Northern<br />

Kurdish in general. I am also very thankful for the contributions of Nicholas and Denise<br />

Bailey, whose input in the grammar sketch was invaluable. Finally, I would like to<br />

acknowledge the assistance of the Kurdish poets, scholars, and translators mentioned<br />

throughout this study, for it is their people and their culture that inspired me to take on<br />

this project in the first place.<br />
