The analysis of passive structures has always been a prominent and debated topic in linguistic studies, However, despite numerous analyses from various perspectives, limited research has been conducted on this subject from the cognitive linguistics point of view. While classifications and analyses concerning passive structures seem acceptable, none of the previous studies clarify what the prototype of this structure in Persian is and from which perspective it should be examined. The author, using the Prototypicality theory as an analytical tool, investigates the prototype of passive structure in the figures of semantics studies within cognitive semantics frame work. In this research, 43 passive sentences were accidentally extracted from Persian syntactical body data which contains 4924 passive constructions in Persian, and were analyzed descriptively and analytically. introducing different types of passive structure in Persian, and according to the analyzed data, the author believes that the prototype of passivization in Persian is followed by omitting the subject of the active sentence. Additionally, the structure of the verbs having "Kardan" light verb, which convert into "Kardeh" light verb + "Shodan" for passivization, have a surface structure containing adjective or noun + "Shodan," which has a high frequency of occurrence so it can be considered as the prototype of passivization in Persian. The study of the subject mentioned, can be of significant importance in the field of Persian language teaching, particularly in Teaching Persian to non-Persian speakers.
