SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF ARABIC NOUN PHRASE’S BETWEEN ARABIC AND ENGLISH: X BAR THEORY

Abstract

Through the prism of X-Bar theory, this research explores the complex world of Arabic noun

phrases, contrasting and comparing their syntactic patterns with those of the English language. A key

component of linguistic study is the examination of noun phrases since it reveals the structural

differences and similarities between Arabic and English, two linguistically dissimilar languages. The

main goal of this research is to analyse how the distinctive structural characteristics of Arabic noun

phrases differ from those of their English counterparts while taking into account the X-Bar theory

framework. Using a comparative methodology, this research examines the distinctive characteristics of

Arabic noun phrases interact with the X-Bar theory. It also explores the consequences of these syntactic

differences. This study sheds light on the syntactic examination of Arabic noun phrases within the

framework of X-Bar theory. It also highlights the distinctions and similarities between Arabic and

English noun phrases. The fields of syntax, language typology, and linguistic variety will benefit greatly

from the study's conclusions.
