Equivalence of Non-Simple Russian Words and Pure Morphological Approach

In translating of non-simple Russian words it is, of course, important to pay attention to the parts of each word. But what is observed in translation courses, in some of the published translations from Russian, in Russian to Persian and Persian to Russian dictionaries or in translating of specialized terminology, is a kind of pure morphological approach. It means that in such cases main attention is paid to morphological segmentation, finding equivalent for each segment (morpheme) and then summarizing the meanings of them is introduced as the only correct method for translating such words. This method is called "pure morphological approach". In the article at first non-simple Russian words are introduced and on the basis of the opinions of more famous Russian grammarians these words have been divided into derived, complex and compound complex groups. Then by giving examples for the words of each group along with their communicative meanings in Persian we tried to show that the pure morphological approach in translating of such words is not effective.
