Abstract

Nominal groups in Persian are very important because of the number and type of modifiers that come before and after the head of the nominal groups. Identifying and investigating the nominal groups in the writings of Arabic speakers significantly contributes to the scientific process of teaching Persian language to non-Persian speakers from different aspects. The purpose of this study was actually to take a step to become more familiar with the grammatical features of Persian learners' writing. The main question of the study was what the grammatical structure of nominal groups is and to determine the most and the least used modifiers of the nominal groups in the writing of post-middle-level Arab Persian learners. This study was carried out using the language corpus taken from 32 writing tests held at the end of the supplementary course of Arab Persian learners of the Persian Language Education Center of Imam Khomeini International University based on the book entitled description of the structure of the inner Persian language. The findings confirmed the hypothesis of the study related to the first question that there are more nominal groups without modifiers and also the second hypothesis that in single dependent nominal groups, the "noun" post-modifiers, "adjective" post-modifiers, and "indicative" pre-modifiers have the highest frequency. With the explanation that the "nominal group" post-modifiers has almost as much frequency as the "adjective" post-modifiers. Another point was that the nominal groups and prepositional groups are significantly used as modifiers of the head of nominal groups. It seems that the use of structures such as nominal groups, prepositional groups, and relative clauses within the structure of nominal groups can be considered as one of the signs of language level progress.
