The Morphological Case - Standard Arabic

In this thesis, I volition visualize a plausible closure to the following question: wherefore does the average educated (see the harken of abbreviations and definitions) Arabic speaker to the highest degree often fail (1) to set up correct miscue (2) endings to syntacticalal components in his/her Standard Arabic (SA) utterances in spite of closely over twelve long time of formal learning of SA? This phenomenon seems wastedordinary for separate languages as the applicable literature has never put down any phenomenon similar to this for speakers of some other languages. Speakers of other languages have no problem assigning morphological effect to DPs in their languages. This last mentioned observation can be discerned from the following quotation (Embick and Noyers 2005): Because ornamental morphology has an overt operation at PF (see the list of abbreviations and definitions), the requirements which turn out in the insertion of extra material are, although languag e-specific, sufficiently out-and-out(a) that speakers of the language may take off them without special difficulty during acquisition.\nIn traditional Arabic scholarship, it was fancied that the relationship between case markings and whatever traditional scholars perspective is responsible for their appearance on nominal expressions is so sheer(a) that a few prior lessons on that topic will ensure proper case marking augmentation in the verbal production of the learner. Unfortunately, the validity of this supposal has so farther been unchallenged. On the other hand, scholars investigating the phrase structure of SA within the most novel frameworks have so far been practicing tremendous mental gymnastics to explain certain phenomena of Arabic syntax such(prenominal) as agreement asymmetry, word order, DP licensing, etc. The problem with such scholarship is that it lacks sound confirmable verification.\nGenerally speaking, scholars investigating languages other than SA typ ically provide experimental support for whatever syntactic claims they make through exam...
