Abstract:

This book presents a comprehensive corpus-based pedagogical grammar of
the Persian verbal system specifically designed for Iraqi
Arabic-speaking learners. The Persian verb system constitutes one of
the most challenging aspects of Persian grammar for second language
learners, involving complex morphological structures, intricate
semantic distinctions, and sophisticated discourse functions. For
Iraqi Arabic speakers, whose first language organizes verbal
information through fundamentally different morphological and
syntactic principles, acquiring Persian verbal morphology requires
reconceptualizing how languages encode temporal, aspectual, and modal
meanings.
The book systematically addresses six major domains: theoretical
foundations establishing the linguistic framework and contrastive
analysis between Persian and Iraqi Arabic verbal systems;
morphological structure including the binary stem system,
person-number agreement, and inflectional patterns; tense, aspect, and
mood categories with detailed semantic-functional analysis; the
distinctive Persian compound verb system combining preverbal elements
with light verbs; verbal valency and argument structure exploring
transitivity, causatives, and passives; and discourse functions
examining how verbal morphology structures narratives and expresses
epistemic stance.
Grounded in second language acquisition theory and cognitive
approaches to morphological processing, each chapter provides explicit
contrastive analysis identifying facilitative transfer and predicted
difficulties, accompanied by targeted pedagogical recommendations and
teaching strategies. The book serves language instructors, curriculum
developers, applied linguists, and advanced learners seeking detailed
understanding of Persian verbal morphology from a learner-specific,
contrastively-informed perspective.
