2022 The imperfective verb and the progressive aspect in Arabic: Diachrony and synchrony Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXXIII: Papers selected from the Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics, Toronto, Canada, 2019, Ali, Abdel-Khalig and Atiqa Hachimi (eds.), pp. 121–146 | Chapter
This paper discusses how Arabic dialects disambiguate between the progressive and the habitual aspect, using grammaticalized participles of the verbs for ‘sit’ and/or ‘work’ to mark the progressive aspect. These grammaticalized aspect markers appear in full and truncated forms. Synchronic data… read more
2020 The complementizer layer in Standard Arabic revisited Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXXII: Papers selected from the Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics, Tempe, Arizona, 2018, Gelderen, Elly van (ed.), pp. 109–134 | Chapter
This paper revisits three issues related to the complementizer layer (CP) in Standard Arabic. We reexamine them against the backdrop of Shlonsky’s 2000 analysis, and put forward a new proposal couched in Rizzi’s 1997 split-CP hypothesis. First, we examine the apparent distributional and… read more
2019 On complex adjectival phrases in Standard Arabic Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXX: Papers from the annual symposia on Arabic Linguistics, Stony Brook, New York, 2016 and Norman, Oklahoma, 2017, Khalfaoui, Amel and Matthew A. Tucker (eds.), pp. 79–92 | Chapter
In this paper, we present three puzzling observations concerning a class of adjectival constructions in Standard Arabic: (i) pleonastic definiteness, where an instance of definite morphology is semantically transparent, (ii) required resumption, where the absence of a resumptive pronoun leads to… read more
2017 Introduction Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXIX: Papers from the Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2015, Ouali, Hamid (ed.), pp. 1–4 | Chapter
2016 The syntax of motion light verbs in Jordanian and Moroccan Arabic Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXVIII: Papers from the Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics, Gainesville, Florida, 2014, Haddad, Youssef A. and Eric Potsdam (eds.), pp. 173–191 | Article
Motion verbs, when they co-occur with main verbs in what we call motion light verb constructions, have an aspectual function. In this paper, we examine the properties of these motion verbs and the implication of their distribution on clause structure. We argue that motion light verbs and main verbs… read more
2014 Multiple agreement in Arabic Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXVI: Papers from the annual symposium on Arabic Linguistics. New York, 2012, Khamis-Dakwar, Reem and Karen Froud (eds.), pp. 121–134 | Article
This article analyzes multiple subject verb agreement in complex tense clauses in light of the Feature Inheritance (FI) approach (Chomsky 2008, 2013). After establishing that these complex tense clauses are bi-clausal with two TP projections and one CP, I argue that they present a challenge to FI… read more
2014 On negative concord in Egyptian and Moroccan Arabic Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXIV–XXV: Papers from the annual symposia on Arabic Linguistics. Texas, 2010 and Arizona, 2011, Farwaneh, Samira and Hamid Ouali (eds.), pp. 159–180 | Article
The aim of this paper is threefold: First, we provide a descriptive account of the facts of negative concord (nc) in both Egyptian and Moroccan Arabic, showing how the two dialects are similar, and how they differ in this regard. Second, we discuss previous analyses of nc and how they fare in… read more
2010 Computation efficiency and feature inheritance in crash-proof syntax Exploring Crash-Proof Grammars, Putnam, Michael T. (ed.), pp. 15–30 | Article
Frampton & Guttmann (2002) argue that a language design that assumes “crashing derivations” would seem to be less computationally efficient than a design which outputs only convergent derivations. Therefore, they advocate a “crash-proof” syntax which requires constraining all the computational… read more
