The present study aims to study the group of compound words ending in the stem of the past form of the verb "bast" from the viewpoint of construction morphology. The present study seeks to provide justifiable answers for the following inquiries: what are the schematic patterns of this group of words? What are the systematic semantic alternations in the words derived from this construction? How are polysemous meanings constructed? and, finally, how the schematic system associating with the polysemous meaning can be described through the framework of the Constructional Morphology? The data for the present study is comprised of 51 compund words and 1791 attested sentences derived from the diachronic corpus of Farhangyar-e Zaban-e Farsi, Synchronic corpus of Persian Language Database, Bijankhan Corpus, Iranian Geographical Dictionary, Zansou Dictionary (1372), Dehkhoda Dictionary (1377), Persian Wikipedia webpage, and Google browsing. Our data analyses indicated that the compound words with the structure [X-bast] can possibly and potentially be categorised in terms of Actions nouns, Place nouns, and Instrument nouns. These semantic alternations are systematic in nature since they do not belong solely to a limited group of compound words. Rather, all the words constructed with this structure fall al least in one of these semantic categories. Therefore, using cognitive mechanism can justify this usage, function and construction. The findings present the sub-schematic patterns of [X-bast] schematic structure.
