1/ I wonder why I wrote all my papers. Ok, at least they are cited, but then: why is all the content ignored. I developed a lexical analysis of Persian complex predicates in my paper. This can deal with all the cases that are cited in the piece below. There is no problem with the future auxiliary appearing in the middle of a complex predicate. It is the same as with particle verbs in German. They can also be separated.

A long-lasting question has been whether Persian CPs are generated as lexical units or as phrases (Goldberg 1996, 2003; Folli et al. 2005; Müller 2010); in other words, whether they are the outcome of morphological or syntactic rules. If CPs are single lexical units, the internal structure of CPs should be inaccessible to syntactic rules (Steele 1989; Bresnan & Mchombo 1995; Booij 2007: 67), meaning that other elements should not separate the parts of a compound. This assumption, however, is in apparent contradiction with Persian CPs which can be easily separated by words belonging to various parts of speech (Megerdoomian 2012), such as the adverb in example (1), as well as adjectives, noun phrases, and prepositional phrases. Some scholars have argued, therefore, that CPs are in fact phrases (Karimi-Doostan 1997; Megerdoomian 2002, 2012). Karimi-Doostan (2011) claims that the morphosyntactic properties of the NVE are mainly responsible for CP separability and argues that only NVEs that are predicative nouns (e.g., komak‘help’ vs. non-predicative nouns like guš‘ ear’) can be separated from the verb. However, this argument fails according to Fleischhauer & Neisani (2020) who claim that separation is related to compositionality. They, however, limit their arguments to adjectives, suggesting that Persian CPs that are compositional (termed “light verb constructions ”) can be internally modified by adjectives.

Trying my hand at some #persian cooking tonight. My take on Aash Shalgham. This is just the beginning, the result was overwhelming

Pot stirring with the initial ingredients for a typical aash.
