The Morphological Case - Standard Arabic

In this thesis, I willing propose a glib answer to the following scruple: why does the average enlightened (see the bring up of abbreviations and definitions) Arabic utterer close often crush (1) to assign correct slickness (2) endings to syntactic components in his/her trite Arabic (SA) utterances in ill will of well over twelve years of formal acquire of SA? This phenomenon seems unprecedented for other languages as the relevant literature has neer documented any phenomenon equal to this for speakers of other languages. Speakers of other languages be possessed of no task appointment morphological case to DPs in their languages. This latter observation tail be discerned from the following reference work (Embick and Noyers 2005): Because orna psychic morphology has an visible effect at PF (see the list of abbreviations and definitions), the requirements which eventuate in the presentation of extra material are, although language-specific, sufficiently transparent t hat speakers of the language may infer them without special worry during acquisition.\nIn conventional Arabic scholarship, it was assumed that the relationship amongst case markings and whatsoever traditional scholars thought is responsible for their fashion on nominal expressions is so transparent that a some introductory lessons on that progeny will ensure graceful case marking augmentation in the oral production of the learner. Unfortunately, the rigourousness of this assumption has so remote been unchallenged. On the other hand, scholars probe the syntax of SA within the most recent frameworks have so far been practicing tremendous mental gymnastics to explain authoritative phenomena of Arabic syntax much(prenominal) as agreement asymmetry, condition order, DP licensing, etc. The problem with such scholarship is that it lacks clayey empirical verification.\nGenerally speaking, scholars examine languages other than SA typically digest empirical support for whate ver syntactic claims they make through exam...
