A Study of the Roles and Function of Morphemes Structure in the Translations of Nahj ul-Balaghah

Given translation and receiving meaning from a text as a systematic course, understanding and analyzing the meaning of its words would be known as the first stage in the field. In the stage, the changes occurred in words` structure would signify language dynamic state and, at the same time, its applicability appropriately. Current structure changes of the words of a language would produce various meanings leading to development of language and countless challenges of it in expressing one`s thought and ideas. Such being the case, a knowledge of impacts of the changes in its meaning domain and, consequently, perceiving exact meaning of the text would be taken as necessary in translation. In the paper, it has been intended to analyze some structural components of the words in the sermons of Nahj ul-Balaghah and to study the semantic changes of the components. As analysis of five translations of Nahj ul-Balaghah show, in some cases, the translators` lack of attention to the changes has led to incorrect translations.
