Abstract :
Conjunctions are very efficient in the building the of the process of the Persian language. Thus, in this essay, writers look closely the compound conjunctions of the Persian language. This investigation tries to investigate whether all compound subordinating conjunctions are compound words or not, or only word "that" is conjunction. For this purpose, by examining the grammarian’s books, newspapers and interviews with Persian speakers we have collected such group of letters. these phrases have been studied from semantic and structural point of view. From Semantic point of view, they are expressing such meanings as state, cause, purpose and so on. And from structural point of view these phrases can be divided into two groups. The first group of them possesses the structure of "group of Noun + that" and another group which has the structure of "group of preposition + that". After this classification different tests such as test of noun for the structure of "noun" group+ that" along with structural tests were applied to both of these structures. As a result, it became clear that some of these phrases just as the grammarians (1994, 2003, 2010, 2011) mentioned before are compound subordinating conjunctions. But some of structures were noun groups or prepositions. They can use in the educational books of the Persian language. They can help development and mobility of the Persian language.
