Abstract EN
This study is a comparative one since it tackles one of the sentential functions in English and Arabic.
This function is sentential subject.
In both languages, the subject function is usually realized by a single word or phrase.
Still, a clause may also realize that function.
The study aims at finding out whether sentential subject (and henceforth SS) is restricted in both languages or not.
Also, the role of predicate in this assumed restriction is being investigated.
The procedure followed in English is explaining: the structure of SS, which complement clauses may realize it and which predicates may select these clauses to be a subject.
In Arabic, the procedure includes presenting Arab grammarians' views on SS and the conditions under which it is allowed.
It is concluded that SS in English is well acknowledged and less restricted in comparison with that of Arabic.
Also, in both languages the predicate plays an essential role in allowing or non-allowing SS.
