Abstract

The Persian question word [ku] which means “ Where is/ are… ? ” is used for both third person singular and plural nouns. In the standard spoken Persian, upon the addition of the [ ] formative it changes to [ku ] and upon the multiple addition of this formative it changes to [ku e ], each with different applications. With regard to other persons, in addition to the [ ] formative, enclitic verbs of “ budan” (to be) attach to [ku] and create [ku am] “ Where am I? ” , [ku i] “ Where are you[singular]? ” , [ku im] “ Where are we? ” , [ku in] “ Where are you[plural]? ” , and [ku an] “ Where are they? ” . This research aimed at identifying the [ ] formative and then explaining the phonological processes which create different pronunciations of question word “ ku? ” derivatives within the framework of optimality theory (Prince and Smolensky, 1993/2004). In so doing, it presents the constraints whose interactions cause these phonological processes. The constraint rankings are completed step by step until it comes up with a single inclusive ranking capable of explaining all different pronunciations of question word “ ku? ” derivatives.
