Abstract

This research investigates the process of verbalization in the Kurdish language, specifically the Sulaimani accent, within the framework of Distributed Morphology (DM). DM approaches word formation from a syntactic perspective. In the light of this framework, the study presents the formation methods and hierarchical structures of  both basic and derived verbs. The research concludes with key findings and a list of references.
