Abstract

The narrative discourse is one of the major parameters and capabilities of verbal interactions in various aspects of human's social life. Narration as the spoken or written description or report of relevant events is a multidimensional skill indicating the level of linguistic and cognitive knowledge.  In the present survey, with the aim of examining compound verbs among healthy Persian-speaking 5-to-7-year-old children,  889 compound verbs from 107 samples of spontaneous speeches based on Dabirmoghaddam's approach (1997), have been analysed.  All the productions included 17427 words. Regarding the outcomes of this research,  it has been shown that the frequency of " compositional compound verbs" compared to " incorporating compound verbs " is higher among the 5-to-7-year-olds. Furthermore, along with the growth in children's age, among the 6-year-olds compared to the 5-year-olds , a wider gap between the elements of the  compound verbs and the use of transitive compound verbs as a parameter indicating the linguistic aptitude development is noticed.
