Abstract:

This book explores the issue of A/A-bar movement in Standard Arabic (SA)
within the framework of Minimalist Program (MP). The author’s contention
throughout this work is to show that A and A-bar movement have different
properties. Each of the different chapters may be self-contained part. Still,
the common denominator to all of them is to support the claim that A-movement
is not A-bar movement.

The first chapter outlines the basic concepts underlying the Minimalist
Program adopted in this book. The chapter begins with a demonstration of the
problems that beset Government and Binding (GB) theory and provides an
appropriate body of empirical evidence in favor of the properties of the
A/A-bar positions within the framework of the MP.

Chapter two outlines some salient properties of Standard Arabic. Special
attention is given to word order and Standard Arabic morphology. Some previous
accounts of word order are examined to show their limitations and support the
alternative analysis the author provides.

Chapter three explores in depth different types of A-bar movement such as
topicalization, left dislocation, wh-movement and relative clauses. The major
claim the author argues in this chapter is that all these types of movement
involve a movement to a non L(lexically) related position.
