Abstract

This paper attempted to classify Persian inflectional morphemes, using 4-M (4-morpheme) model. It is a base production model. In this model According to their access in speech production morphemes divided into one content morpheme and three systematic morphemes. Considering Persian language behavior and evidences and according to the 4-m model, negative, causative, imperative and passive morphemes of verb plus plural forms of noun, comparative and superlative suffixes of adjective and adverb ̕ s comparative morpheme belongs to systematic morphemes because these structures add conceptual information to their core (verb, noun, adjective and adverb) and indirectly selected by the core. But structures which show properties like person/number, tense, aspect, subjunctive mood of verb get into outer, late, systematic morphemes required by the grammatical frame of the language and they are co-indexed with other constituents in the sentence.  Morpheme classification in 4-M has been done according to their being activated in different speech production levels. This classification can be used in explaining different linguistic area (such as the order of morphemes in language acquiring or learning).
