Abstract EN
Wedevelop a novel approach to personal passive in Standard Arabic (SA), building on ‘implicit arguments’ and the Person feature associated with the passive morphology (PM) attached to the verb.Wepropose that the PM is projected as a PassP (Passive Phrase), headed by Pass which has a Person (Prsn) feature which counts as an EPP feature.
The article provides an Agree analysis of passive and the distribution passive arguments.We propose that both arguments are merged in their canonical positions:pro, i.e.
the external argument,is merged as a specifier of vP, hence valuing its θ-role of agent and Case.
Assuming that pro in personal passives is generic/indefinite, it is referentially ‘weak,’ and thus it cannot value Pass’s Prsn feature.
Pass, then, probes for the only DPin its domain, i.e., the internal argument (or the (passive) syntactic subject (henceforth, Syn-subj)), and triggers it to remerge in its Spec.
It is also assumed that this ‘remerging’ is an A-movement, based on the fact that Spec-PassP is an A-position.
In Spec-PassP, the Syn-subj values T’s ɸ-features.
T’s EPPis assumed to be satisfied via V-raising to T

Cet article traiteuneapproche de la passifpersonnelleen arabe standard, en se basant sur les modèles des ‘arguments implicites’ et personnelle caractéristique en inflexion du verbe.
L’auteur propose que pro est l'argumentexterne de passif et que pro est le sujet rétrogradé du prononçiable (pro)nom de la structure actif vient de son association avec la morphologie du passif (MP).
Nous proposons que le MP est projeté comme PassP (phrase du passif), dirigé par le Pass qui a unecaractéristiquePrsncommeunevariante du EPP.
L'article présente un compte Agree du passif et la distribution/répartition de pro, où les deux arguments sont base-générésdans leurs positions canoniques.
pro est base-générét comme spécificateur de vP, donc, la évaluation de son θ-rôle de l'agent et Cas.
Si pro en passifs personnels est générique/indéfinie, il est référentiellement ‘faible’, donc, ne peut pas évaluerles Prsn de la Pass, de plus Pass des sondes pour la seule DP dans son domaine, à savoir l'argument interne (ou passif) sujet (syntaxiques (désormais, Syn-subj)), et déclenche à remerge dans Spec-PassP.
