THE BINDING THEORY IN THE LINGUISTIC STUDY AMONG ARABS AND IN THE WEST

Abstract

Binding has acquired an important place in both the old and modern language studies. Therefore, the present research is directed towards this aspect to tackle binding in the Arabic perception in light of Chomsky’s binding theory. Binding found much concern in in the transformational generative theory, especially in the fourth phase, which is the “government and binding theory”. It considered it as one of the general principals presented by universal grammar, which aims to specify the common characteristics and features of all the human languages rules. The research marked as “the binding theory in the linguistic study among Arabs and in the wester” aims at comparing between binding among Arabs and in the west. The re ason for this is attempting to understand the construction of the Arabic sentence within the frame of binding and its mechanisms in order to stop at the role it performs in keeping the confusion away from sentences and facilitating its automatic processing for the sake of computing and developing Arabic
