Abstract
Objectives: This paper investigates the standard understanding of adjective-noun agreement in Arabic syntax by exploring the complexities revealed by empirical evidence. Methodology: This paper adopts a comparative qualitative approach to analyze data gathered from a Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and English corpus, following Chomsky's generative enterprise principles. Conclusion: This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of Arabic syntax by discovering the details of adjective-noun agreement procedures. By challenging traditional assumptions and proposing new insights, this study advances linguistic research in Arabic syntax and sheds light on the broader implications for linguistic theory.
