Introducing an Unknown-Familiar one and a ‎New Design for Word-Formation in Persian

Abstract

One of the familiar but unknown titles in the Persian ‎language is the concept of 'terminologies' which are formed ‎by suffixes (such as 'khalah/amah=aunt, amoo= uncle, ‎baba=father, etc.) and an adjective which indicates the ‎characteristics of the person that is defined. Deep ‎investigation of this concepts shows that it is fully similar to ‎its Arabic counterpart, and the application of the word-‎formation processes used in Arabic may help in guarding and ‎advancing the Persian language.‎
