While the previous project phase has it itself mainly with the investigation of the dialects in the western part of the target area and the transition area (Southeast anatolien, Iraq and border areas in Iran) employs. It gathered extensive field research data in this area and sighted the well-known literature, with which it acts to a large extent over in Turkey published collections of folkloristischer materials.

Dr. Christiane Bulut has over very good active knowledge of the languages and dialects spoken in the area and contacts of many years to informants. In different publications it was occupied with Turkish Varietaeten with Iranian/Kurdish Sub and Adstrat and similar contact contacts also in a historical perspective treated. Their Habilitations projekt treats a collection of rezenter texts from Bayadistan in the Hamadan region. The Bayat trunks, whose language and folklore were so far not examined scientifically, probably belong to the south oghusischen group of dialects. The materials are examined therefore once under arealtypologischen aspects, on the other hand in the comparison with the historical texts bes. from the area Isfahan.
