Abstract:

This book is concerned with the issue of predication as the central theme of
all linguistic theories. In some languages ‘verbs’ are not the only
predicative elements. Other word categories have the same capability. This
book focuses on the constructions where a predicative adjective or preposition
fuse with a ‘bleached verb’ as the impoverished form of the verbal element to
form what is called a complex predicate or ‘nuclear juncture’ (NJ.). The
framework adopted here is Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) Theory (Van Valin
2005).

These complex predicates in Persian have received little attention in
literature and the few studies carried out have not provided a detailed
analysis of these nuclear junctures. Complex Predicates in Modern Persian
scrutinizes the types of adjectives/prepositions used in these constructions
and the syntax-semantics interface using the data in Persian, one of the
oldest Indo-European languages.
