Abstract

Converting syntactic units to morphological units (words) is one of the common methods of word formation in languages. This transformation can be studied both from the perspective of time studies and from the perspective of concurrency studies. In other words, in languages, the conversion of a syntactic unit to a morphological unit occurs both in the historical context and in a certain period of language, linguists try to formulate syntactic units into morphological units to express new concepts. In this research, the historical evolution of the conversion of syntactic units to morphological units has been studied, and in proving the claim of the historical conversion of syntactic units to morphological units, we have referred to phonetic evidence as well as morphological and syntactic evidence. For example, in many classical texts, Khel is combined with the grammatical category of nouns meaning category and group with Yai Vahdat or Yai Nekreh, which after a historical transformation and becoming a morphological unit, has become a word with the grammatical category of adverbs. In this research, the process of converting syntactic units into morphological units and the types of these historical developments have been clarified, and in the light of the results obtained from this research, part of the inability of linguists to read and pronounce classical texts, especially Persian order, becomes clear. Because the syntactic units related to previous periods have become a word in Persian today. Today's readers of classical Persian poetry lack the linguistic ability of earlier peoples regarding Persian pronouns, and this is partly due to their ignorance of the historical evolution of syntactic units into morphological units.
