| Abstract |
| Cooperate or coordinate compounds, also known among linguists as copulative or dvandva compounds, and they include appositional compounds as well in the work of some linguists are a kind of compound nouns in world languages. Coordinate compounds have two constituents which are basically joined by an and in Farsi. In this stage it might be said that it is a syntactic structure rather than a compound noun. In the period of time this construction may lose its conjunctor, and it becomes fully lexicalizaed. A coordinate compound is like an exocentric compound while it has no head, and at the same time it is like an endocentric compound because it is semantically transparent. This paper will discuss the morphological, syntactic and semantic features of coordinate compounds in Farsi which have some idiosyncratic ones. The coordinate compounds have no head indeed which will dominate the other one that is usually considered to be a modifier.This paper will study and analyze coordinate compounds in Farsi with a cognitive approach. |
