Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study transfer of Persian genitive construction to speech and language of Azerbaijani speakers. Data have been collected from different Azerbaijani speakers (monolinguals and bilinguals) in Ardabil and they were classified according to different kinds of Persian genitive construction. At first frequency of data was determined in speakers' speech then they were analyzed following language contact views. Findings showed some of Persian genitive constructions are abundant in all speakers' speech, meanwhile some of them appeared only in bilinguals' speech. So Persian genitive construction transfer to Azerbaijani speakers' speech can be analyzed well due to codeswitchig-borrowing continuum that is the most suitable to explain language transfer. There was not any genitive construction among data consists of Azerbaijani native constituents combined by Persian genitive marker. So this kind of language transfer is matter borrowing. Persian genitive construction has not been borrowed as the pattern to Azerbaijani.
