        It is important to analyze the lexicological-phonological processes of the present stem in order to evaluate the generative capacity of each phonological process. The present article aims to identify and describe the lexicological-phonological processes in simple verbs with the initial vowel of standard Farsi after adding the continuous prefix / mi/. The research method is descriptive-analytical. In this research, in the method of data collection, there are 50 verbs out of 323 verbal roots based on Tabataba'i (1997), Dehkhoda Dictionary (2011), and Sokhan Dictionary (2003) which begin with vowels. The data have been transcribed according to the International Phonetic Alphabet "I.P.A" and then analyzed in the framework of generative phonological theory. Results show that in written or formal Farsi, "Hamza" or the glottal stop [ʔ] is added to verbs that begin with vowel and for this reason, they begin with "A"; but after adding the continuous prefix / mi- /, "Hamza" is not inserted in the spoken or informal Farsi and instead, the front vowel shortening process, raising /i/ and gliding as short vowel sequence and gliding [-ej-] and then raising the front central vowel [e] before gliding [j] as vowel sequence and glide [-ij-] are observed. In such structures, in the informal speech, there is no "Hamza" or the glottal stop [ʔ] in the verb structure. Manuscript profile

        Kupal Oil Field is one of the important oil fields in the Zagros Basin, located in the eastern part of the Dezful embayment, adjacent to Aghajari Oil Field and Marun Oil Field. Some characteristics of the fold elements, such as the fold interval angle and axial surface, were determined in the Asmari folded horizon using the interpreted seismic profiles. Based on the deviation of the axial surface from the vertical surface and determination of shear angle and shear strain, minimum and maximum quadratic stretch and strain ratio (R) values were calculated in different parts of the anticline. With application of graphical functions the amounts of fold aspect ratio were determined along the anticline. Base on the results, the amounts of shear strain varies from 0.01 to 0.09 in deferent parts of anticline. Also results show the amounts of strain ratio in range of 1.25 to 1.38 and shortening about 5% to 17% in different parts of the kupal anticline oil field. Manuscript profile
