dear Taoufiq,

you can't, nor your student apply the Generative Grammar theory, even  
Government and Binding theory to Arabic language.
Arabic language does not know VSO structure, English and another  
languages may know like this notion, but not arabic. VSO is not the  
jumla fi'liya like you said.
as i konw, until know no theory can treate these syntax phenomenons in  
Arabic.
but it does exist one theory, whish can help that student, and i'm  
advicing him to work throw it, it will help a lot, try to use the "Neo- 
Khalilian theory".
Here some of what Pr. Abderrahmane HADJ-SALAH said about it.
"the starting point of the Neo-khalilian theory is the discovery, for  
the most ancient grammarians (8th century), of an original conception  
that we do not find in the works of the arab grammarian who came after  
them only in a distorted form (except some case)" Pr. Abderrahmane  
HADJ-SALAH.
"the linguistic theory developed by these old researchers has been  
firt analysed for many long years, then reformulated within a logico- 
mathematical framwork and is actually systematically being exploited  
in several fields at the levels of our Center (Centre de recherche  
scientifique et technique pour le développement de la langue arabe)"  
Pr. Abderrahmane HADJ-SALAH.
if you want any help about this theory, you will find me here to help.

best regard.
