Abstract

This paper examines the structural specificities of the iḍāfa construction in Arabic. We propose an in-depth syntactic analysis of the nominal iḍāfa construction where the head (the mḍāf) is a generic noun, what Arabic grammarians call "maʿnawiyya iḍāfa". Our goal is to identify these constructions' characteristic features and study the relationship between the head and the complement.
