Abstract EN
his paper attempts to explore the Theory of Feature Checking in Minimalism and show how it works in the morpho-syntactic analysis of Standard Arabic.
It examines how Chomsky's (1995) Minimalist distinctions among features (such as, categorical features, Case-features and phi-features) function in Standard Arabic and English and points out the differences between both languages in terms of [± Interpretable].
Besides, it tries to point out the parametric differences between Standard Arabic and English on the basis of the strength/weakness of their TNS and AGR features.
It also illustrates how features of the verb and the subject NP in Standard Arabic are checked in overt/covert syntax.
