This paper studies the semantic contribution of –e suffix based on Lieber (2004). This theory using seven semantic features and a principle called Coindexation Principle studies the semantic contribution of lexical items and their function in compounding, derivation and conversion. In this theory each lexical item even affixes have a semantic skeleton and a semantic body. Each affix has to have only one skeleton. If an affix has more than one semantic contribution, it should be explained based on other factors such as semantic extension conserving the same skeleton. Concepts such as subject, object, instrument, etc. have no relationship with skeleton but they are the result of other factors such as the interaction of coindexation of base argument with the argument of the affix. Having studied –e affix, we came to the following it has at least three semantic skeletons: one which derives concrete nouns, another one derives abstract nouns having event or process meaning, and adjectival one. Subject oriented and object oriented nouns, instrument, similarity and location are the result of semantic extension of concrete noun making function of the affix or different coindexation on the argument of the affix with different arguments of the base.

This article deals with the question of the origin of the meaning of agent in the Persian derived words. For this purpose، first، the three major approaches to this question are introduced and assessed. The analysis of data from Persian exhibits that in spite of the three approaches، the agent meaning cannot be considered to have been taken from the theta role of the external argument of the base. Having this point in mind، two other possible origins are then proposed for this concept in derivational words: the meaning of the affix independent of the argument structure of the base، and the morphological structure of the derivational words examined. Finally، presenting evidence of derivation and compounding in Persian، the meaning of the affix itself is introduced as the origin of the meaning of agent in this group of words.

This paper studies the nature of Persian compound verbs based on Lieber's lexical semantic representation theory. This theory, using seven semantic features and a principle called co-indexation principle, studies lexical entities and their contribution in compounding, derivation and conversion and presents one semantic skeleton and one semantic body for each lexical item even for affixes. The skeleton consists of one or more semantic features and one or more arguments and the body consists of two layers. It is claimed in this study that all sentences had been basically constructed on simple verbs; however, as a result of changes in the semantic body of simple verbs they have lost their event argument, and they cannot individually predicate an event; therefore, one argument of the simple verb in the sentence is co-indexed with one argument of the argument structure of the simple verb to from a compound verb. It is also shown that compound verbs in Farsi are syntactically subordinate compounds and semantically endocentric in which the verbal element is the head and pre-verb in the argument structure of the compound verb, is subordinate.
