Abstract EN

This paper is an attempt to systemize Chomsky’s proposal of Features Inheritance (2005).

It takes Standard Arabic as a Case Study.

Accordingly, analysis is provided for Arabic SVO and VSO Clause Structure.

Moreover, this study sheds light on Phasal Heads and Agreement.

A question arises during the course of the study: “What defines a Phasal Head (at least with respect to Standard Arabic)?” The analysis utilizes the Probe-Goal Analysis.

The feature of Case plays a very significant role in the analysis presented here.
