La modification adjectivale en arabe à la lumière de la grammaire adaptative

Abstract

The adjectival modification in standard Arabic poses several problems to the adaptative grammar, which constitutes a theoretical minimalist model. The minimalism of this model is based on the properties of the interfaces SM and CI to explain the linguistic phenomena, in particular the adjectival modification in English and French. We show that this model cannot provide explanation to the properties of the adjectival modification in Arabic. To reach our purpose, we will present the syntactic properties of the adjectival modification in that language, we will, then, try to apply the adptative model to explain these phenomena.
