الملخص الإنجليزي

The aim of this current work is to investigate the syntactic properties of both English small clauses (SC) and Arabic nominal sentences (NS).

As we know, clauses usually contain verbs which are finite or non–finite, whereas small clauses lack an overt verb.

In this research, the researcher has shown the different views concerning small clauses in English and how such clauses are treated and analyzed by different syntacticians such as (Williams,1983), (Tim Stowell, 1981/1983), (Aarts,1992) among others.

Second, the researcher has shown the structure of verbless nominal sentences in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in addition to the views of the Arab grammarians such as (Fassi Fehri, 1993), (Benmamoun, 2000) among others.

Then, within the domain of the X' theory(x-bar theory), the researcher has compared and contrasted small clauses in English and nominal sentences in Arabic from different perspectives such as the categorial status, the internal structure, and how case and agreement are fulfilled.

The comparison reveals that, to some extent, English small clauses are similar to those in Arabic but differ in some of their syntactic properties.
