EXPLORING THE SEMANTIC ASPECTS OF PERSIAN COMPOUNDS MADE BY ᴂfkᴂn (CAST): A CONSTRUCTION MORPHOLOGY APPROACH

Persian compound words, which are classified into two categories as primary and secondary compounds (Shaghaghi, 2008), typically examined in the Construction Morphology proposed by Booij (2010; 2016; 2018). Within framework of theory, this study has attempted to explore constructional schemas words made present stem æfkæn (cast). To end, 60 have been collected from numerous sources such linguistic corpora, grammar books, monolingual dictionaries well some reliable websites. Comparing structure it, taking meaning each account drawing schemas, we indicate that these given eight different semantic categories. Additionally, schema revealed interpretation may be allocated a continuum with most semantically transparent metaphorical or idiomatic meaning. Indeed, through theory Morphology, distinctions (cast) could specified.
