Abstract

The present study examines the prevailing current prefixed verbs in Persian within framework of construction morphology and its interaction with semantics. It examines the compositionality of meaning in the prefixed verbs and the effect of meaning on the construction of these verbs. For this purpose, after collecting the prefixed verbs in the syntactic valency lexicon for Persian Verbs (Rasooli et al., 2011), they were categorized according to the formal and semantic differences; then each of the verbal prefixes was separately analyzed and for each one, a general schema was presented that has different subschemata. The analysis of the data shows that these verbs do not have compositional meaning and the meaning of many verbal prefixes have changed over time. And, lexically, the verbs with these prefixes are treated as simplex. In addition, for all the prefixed verbs, a general scheme was suggested that according to their prefix, each group of verbs was considered as a subschema of this general scheme.
