The development of the verbal part of compound verbs in language can challenge these simple definitions of grammaticalization and lexicalization which are considered by some as completely independent and, somehow, reverse processes.
Our evidence from New Persian indicate that light verbs in their development have been subjected to main principles and mechanisms of grammaticalization.
It is evident that light verbs are productively used to form new compound verbs in Persian.

The main outcome of this research is that focalization in Persian occurs in-situ and any movement to the beginning of the sentence is just for topicalization.
In this study, first the four typologies of possessive construction are examined, then the encoding of subtypes of possession are investigated through natural linguistic data gathered from Persian data base of the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies.
These universals arc about the relations between predicative possession typologies and deranking/balancing encoding and the split/share parameters.
Finally some other predicative possessive constructions in Persian are examined which are not included in the typology of predicative possession introduced in this study.
Keywords: possessive construction, predicative possession, deranking/balancing encoding, split/share parameters.

In the present study, the predicative possession in modern Persian in functional-typological approach has been examined.
