Abstract

This paper presents a phase-based analysis of the derivation of the status constructus (or construct state). That analysis is built on two arguments. First, I contend that a construct state in Classical/Standard Arabic contains a phase the head of which is K. Second, I claim that the head noun is a full indefinite DP the functional projection of which is similar to regular definite DPs. I maintain that a process of repeated External Merge merging the genitive phrase with the head noun culminates in a KP. Because of a ban on the co-occurrence of two syntactic functional projections of the same type in the same Spell-Out domain, I argue that the head noun is moved via Internal Merge from the complement of the phase head K to the edge of the phase. Since K is a phase boundary, it provides protection for the head noun DP from the genitive phrase DP, allowing the phase domain to be spelled out. That the genitive phase DP must be assigned only a genitive case, while the head noun DP can be assigned any one of the three cases can be derived from Chomsky’s (1998, 1999, 2001) Phase Impenetrability Condition.

构造状态的基于阶段的方法
本文提出了一种基于阶段的状态结构(或构念状态)派生分析方法。这种分析建立在两个论点之上。首先,我认为古典/标准阿拉伯语中的构式状态包含一个阶段,其头部是k。其次,我声称头部名词是一个完整的不定DP,其功能投影类似于规则的确定DP。我认为,一个重复的外部合并过程,将物主短语与主名词合并在一起,最终形成一个KP。由于禁止在同一拼写域内同时出现两个相同类型的句法功能投射,我认为头名词通过内部合并从相头K的补语移动到相的边缘。因为K是一个相边界,它提供了保护头部名词DP从属格短语DP,允许相域被拼写出来。从乔姆斯基(1998、1999、2001)的相位不可穿透性条件可以推导出,属格相位DP只能被赋予一个属格,而头名词DP可以被赋予三种情况中的任何一种。
