Derivation and lexicalization are two critical subjects in morphology and word-formation processes. Although wide studies have been taken place about derivation, which is one of the most productive processes of word-formation along with composition, there has been no proper attention to lexicalization, which sometimes happens after derivation. One of the applications of this thesis is developing dictionaries. With regard to this issue that there is no scientific and complete method for recording lexical units in Persian dictionaries, we decided to propose a scientific method to do the mentioned activity by studying derivational processes, affixes and lexicalization phenomena and its relation... 

This study aims at classifying outputs of Reduplication (Total and Partial Reduplication) in Persian, in order to demonstrate the types and processes which lead to the lexicalization of some reduplicated forms and assign them lexical position in lexicography as individual lexical entries. There are distinct phonological, morphological and semantic evidences behind the lexicalization of some types of reduplicated items in Persian. Approximately about 269 totally reduplicated words and 293 partially reduplicated words have been collected and analyzed according to the said morphological, phonological and semantic considerations. Partial and Total Reduplication process is one of the productive...
