One of the chief discussions within the phrase structure theory is the analysis of the projection level of modifiers of different grammatical categories. This study provides an analysis of the noun phrase structure in Persian, considering the projection levels of the post-modifiers. The study is within the framework of the Extended Standard Theory (EST) and, in particular, X-bar syntax. Data analysis reveals that contrary to what has been discussed in literature (Samiian (1983) and Ghomeshi (1996)) all post-modifiers occurring in Ezafe Constructions accept modifiers. Furthermore the data reveals that all the post-modifiers are maximal projections
