The dialect of Ardakan is one of the Persian dialects in Yazd province in Iran, which attracts every linguist’s attention as a result of its abundance of compound verbs. The present study is aimed at analyzing different kinds of compound verbs in this dialect in terms of structure. The study sought to answer the following questions: Can the compound verbs be analyzed in the dialect according to Dabir-Moghaddam’s (1374) categorization? What kinds of compounds are more prevalent in the dialect? Is there any other classification in the structure which can be added to those proposed by Dabir-Moghaddam? It was found that Dabir-Moghddam’s classification of compound verbs can be applied to the data gathered in the present study. Also, it was observed that there were some other classifications in the dialect which can be added to those proposed by Dabir-Moghaddam.
