“…(5b) shows example (5a) with a noun phrase in the object position rather than an object clitic for comparison. The ezafe in Farsi is an unstressed vowel that occurs when a noun is modified and follows the noun (Ghomeshi, 1997).…”

The current study aimed to create an assessment that can be used in the future to measure the language abilities of Farsi-speaking children in a clinical setting. A Farsi sentence-repetition task was created that included structures organised into three levels of complexity from least to most complex. Twenty typically developing Farsi-English bilingual children between the ages of 6;3-11;6 were recruited from Farsi schools in Toronto, Canada. Significant differences on the participants' performance among the three levels were found with the lowest performance in the most complex sentences and the highest performance in the least complex ones. Specific structures appeared to be more challenging than others within each level of complexity. The children's decreasing performance with increasing complexity and the evidence that specific structures are challenging within each level make the Farsi sentence repetition task a promising tool for assessing the language skills of Farsi-English speaking children.

“…"Amin had said that the students brought the tables." 5 The Ezafe vowel -e (usually pronounced -ye after vowels) syntactically links some elements with their modifiers in Persian (for analyses of the Ezafe construction, see e.g., Samiian 1994, Ghomeshi 1997a, Fig. 10: The utterance aemín goft-é-bud ke šagerd-á miz-á-ro avórd-aen "Amin had said that the students brought the tables.…”

“…As I do not compare different varieties of Persian in this paper, I do not make use of this terminology here. 3 dâshtan has an additional, unrelated use as a marker of progressive aspect (Taleghani 2010 Several analyses exist of the ezâfe construction, ranging from treating it as a marker of Case on +N elements (Samiian 1994;Larson and Samiian 2020), a marker of agreement triggered after roll-up movement (Kahnemuyipour 2014), and a linker affixed to heads at PF (Ghomeshi 1997). I take no stance on the correct analysis of ezâfe, and though I generally take it to be semantically vacuous, nothing hinges on this choice.…”

Mental states via possessive predication: the grammar of possessive experiencer complex predicates in Persian

Persian possesses a number of stative complex predicates with dâshtan ‘to have’ that express certain kinds of mental state. I propose that these possessive experiencer complex predicates be given a formal semantic treatment involving possession of a portion of an abstract quality by an individual, as in the analysis of property concept lexemes due to Francez and Koontz-Garboden (Language 91(3):533–563, 2015; Natural Language and Linguistic Theory 34:93–106, 2016; Semantics and morphosyntactic variation: Qualities and the grammar of property concepts, Oxford University Press, 2017). Augmented with an analysis of prepositional phrases introducing the target of the mental state and an approach to gradability in terms of measure functions (Wellwood in Measuring predicates, PhD dissertation, University of Maryland, College Park, 2014), the analysis explains various properties of possessive experiencer complex predicates, including the behavior of target phrases, the ability of the non-verbal element to be modified by a range of adjectives, the direct participation of the non-verbal element in comparative constructions, and the ability of degree expressions to modify both the non-verbal element and the VP containing the complex predicate. Theoretically, the analysis ties transitive mental state expressions to the grammar and semantics of property concept sentences, which are expressed via possessive morphosyntax cross-linguistically, and connects with syntactic proposals that independently argue for a universal underlyingly possessive morphosyntax for mental state predicates (Noonan in Case and syntactic geometry, PhD dissertation, McGill University, 1992; Hale and Keyser in Prolegomenon to a theory of argument structure, MIT Press, 2002). The work here also motivates modifications to Francez and Koontz-Garboden’s original proposal, and opens new questions in the original empirical domain of the analysis of possessive predicating strategies for the expression of property concept sentences.
