| Abstract: |
| In This research, Suffixes like '-asa', '-san' and '-sa' showing resemblance in Persian are going to be examined based on Hamavand (2011) Framework so as to achieve a conceptual and cognitive view of mentioned suffixes and their Functions. Hence, by using AntConc, 132 adjectives consisted of 76 words having '-asa', 34 words having '-san' and 22 words having '-sa- were Extracted from the corpus Hamshahri2. Results show that most of these suffixes were added into a noun as a stem (prototype) and sometimes to an adjective as a stem (peripheries). Concern with the conceptual structure, it can be siad that: in adding the suffix '-asa', [resemblance/natural phenomena] and [resemblance/abstract noun] are viewed as prototype and [resemblance/race] is viewed as periphery. In adding the suffix '-san', [resemblance/natural phenomena], [resemblance/animals] and [resemblance/things] are viewed as prototype and [resemblance/trait] and [resemblance/abstract noun] are viewed as periphery. In adding the suffix '-sa', [resemblance/natural phenomena] is viewed as prototype and [resemblance/trait] and [resemblance/race] are viewed as periphery. |
