A study of syntactic changes through the translation of Quranic verses from Arabic into Persian based on X-Bar Theory

This research is concerned with the syntactic changes that occur during the process of translation of Quran verses from Arabic to Persian. Since it helps to evaluate syntactic structures and changes, the X- bar Theory is adopted to classify the type of these changes. For the purpose of this research, the type of syntactic groups is determined and the changes of them are comprised in both of Arabic and Persian texts. In this research the scientific study of syntactic groups contains of the study of lexical categorizes (NP,VP) and functional categorizes (IP,CP,DP) in Quran text and its Persian translations. Therefore the syntactic structures are comprised in two languages and different structures are determined in them. The purpose of this research is to study the data of Quran which includes recognizing the lexical and functional categories and determining of the type of their changes in Persian translations. It shows how the semantic and grammatical changes are represented during the translation of Arabic Quran to Persian.
