Abstract

This paper attempts to explore the SEMANTIC SPACE of SOD-IN ‘to become’ in Persian in order to address some basic features of linguistic cognition (e.g. ANALYZABILITY and compositionality). One of the highly-frequent verbs in Persian is SOD-IN, which with regard to its different functions at the level of sentence, can be considered as the most active verb in this language. According to a diachronic viewpoint, the same verbal form, SOD-IN, with four distinctive functions (as a main verb, as a copula, as a modal verb, and as the verbal constituent of complex predicates) plays an important role in Persian verbal system. The PASSIVE CONSTRUCTION in Persian is considered as a Complex Predicate in which SOD-IN combines with different linguistic categories such as noun, adjective, prepositional phrase and past participle (X in general).Its SEMANTIC SPACE indicates that various types of constructions including SOD-IN form a network of meanings, in which the verbal element SOD-IN is meaningful, in contrast to the previous studies it's PASSIVE CONSTRUCTION which considered it as a purely syntactic element carrying no meaning. Therefore, the PASSIVE CONSTRUCTION in Persian is viewed as analyzable in which SOD-IN is not a random occurrence but rather an extension of its other uses. The relatedness of the uses of SOD-IN provides further evidence for the claim in Cognitive Grammar that the PASSIVE CONSTRUCTION is part of a larger network of related syntactic constructions and not derives from the active construction.
