Subject: NP-Movement Query

Hi everyone,
I am passing along a request which I received from a former student
regarding literature on NP-movement in Arabic, particularly that
which might relate to the question of the relationship between overt
case and NP-movement. Perhaps someone will be able to provide him
with some relevant sources. Please respond directly to the student,
Hajime Ono, at the e-mail address given below.
Peace,


Martha Schulte-Nafeh
