A Modern Approach to the Basic Word Order in Arabic

The focal point of this paper is to make a modern approach on the basic word order in Arabic as well as to account for the syntactic properties of empty pronoun. It will be argued that the basic word order is not a conception from a descriptive point, but a conception generated in the deep structure. In the literature on Arabic linguistics, two types of sentences(nominal sentence, verbal sentence)have been treated as having the different syntactic distribution, whereas in modern linguistics the nominal sentence and the verbal sentence are generated from one deep structure SVO. Therefore, the objective is to suggest the basic word order in the deep structure by virtue of X-bar schema and VP-internal subject hypothesis, and to explain the left-raising movement of the verb root and the subject in order to generate both VSO and SVO structure. In addition, this paper is focused on underlying the presence of empty pronoun(pro) and manifesting its syntactic properties. It will be made by analyzing the structures which contain raising verb and modal verb.
