Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the words ending to Persian suffix -i in speech of Azerbaijani speakers based on MLFM. The data have been collected from Azerbaijani speakers’ speech in different contexts. The research method is descriptive-analytic. At first, the different forms of Persian homonymous bound morpheme -i were classified into: early system morphemes and late outside system morphemes according to differential access hypothesis. Then the data were analyzed based on the principles and hypothesis of MLFM. Azarbaijani is matrix language in all data due to uniform structure principle of MLFM. According to differential access hypothesis, late outside system morphemes are structure maker and they determine the syntactic order of constituents in the sentences, meanwhile early system morphemes play role in transferring of meaning. Azerbaijani as a matrix language causes its late outside system morphemes activates at formulation level to assign Azerbaijani morpho-syntactic frame on the sentences. So Persian late outside system morphemes do not appear in speech of Azerbaijani speakers. Persian early system morphemes (-i as a derivational morpheme and –i as an indefinite morpheme) do not have any role in determining syntactic structure of sentences, therefore they can be transferred to Azerbaijani speakers’ speech by being added to Persian content morphemes. It seems there is a relation between different morpheme nature (their selection at different abstract level) and their transferring to other languages. So MLFM is more efficient in explaining language contact phenomenon.
