It is assumed that human languages are governed by underlying universal principles that characterise the Language Faculty. In this regard, the present paper investigates the structural derivation of verbal passives in Standard Arabic within Principles and Parameters. Data analysis relied on Chomsky’s (2000, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2013) phase-based syntax and data comparison has been based on Chomsky’s (2005) theoretical model of three factors. Results of this analysis indicate that minimalist principles provide a uniform account for the behaviour of Case, agreement and movement in Standard Arabic verbal passives despite complications raised by agreement asymmetries. Besides, the parametric exploration of the analysed structures has provided evidence of how the apparent variations are featurebound. In addition, the structural analysis of the verbal phrase demonstrated the presence of two features namely [+active] and [-active] headed by a unified voice projection. VoiceP [+active] is a strong phase that hosts an External Argument and VoiceP [-active] is a weak phase that hosts a passive morpheme. The results of the proposed cross-linguistic analysis offered support for Chomsky’s model (2005) of three factors. |
