Halle and Marantz first introduced distributed morphology in 1993. In Distributed Morphology, there is no distinction between word and sentence structures. Syntax creates a system of structures composed of morphemes and produces constituents that connect sound and meaning. Independent computations are applied to the syntactic output after representation at the phonological and logical relation levels, yielding phonological and semantic representations (Anousheh: 1400: 616).
This paper, which uses a descriptive-analytical method, aims to gain a deeper understanding of the reduplication process and, more broadly, the structure of the Persian language within the framework of Distributed Morphology theory. This research examines aspects of types of non-affixed total reduplication according to Shaghaghi's (79) and Rezayati Kishe-Khale et al.'s (94) classification.
Accordingly, from each category of complete non-affixed total reduplicated words, cases carrying lexical aspect have been extracted and examined within the Distributed Morphology framework. The analyzed samples show that in forming non-affixed total reduplicated forms, first the roots forming the reduplicated form, after merging with their reduplicated part and moving to the aspect phrase specifier position, check the aspect head features containing continuity and action repetition features through the C-command relationship between the specifier and aspect head.
This means that lexical elements combine with each other at the syntax level and create more complex structures, revealing aspect in lexical form which mainly appears as continuous aspect showing the continuity and repetition of action.

Abstract Phase Theory has been proposed as the latest achievement of the minimalist program to optimize syntactic computation of language. Chomsky believes that the derivation of linguistic constructions follows one-phase performance to reduce the memory computing burden. At the end of each phase, part of the syntactic structure already formed undergoes the transfer to the phonological and semantic componant , with the result that the relevant part of the structure is inaccessible to further syntactic operations formed in that stage of derivation. Many linguists believe that syntactic operations of Merge and Agreement follow the phase impenetrability condition. Since pronominal clitics systems have often been extensively adapted to the Agreement system throughout history, studying the Agreement operation in a language requires studying the clitic hosts. In this paper, by examinig the Ardalani Kurdish language data and describing and theoretically analyzing the clitic hosts, we will show that the explanation of clitic agreement in Ardalani kurdish is related to the principle of phase impenetrability condition.
