Is there a firewall between declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge of the functional morphology:A response to Paradis / Roumyana Slabakova. // Foreign language teaching and research. 2015, Vol. 47, No.4. // 外语教学与研究 2015, 第47卷.第4期
2015.
619-623 p.

<正>In my article"The Bottleneck of second language acquisition"(Slabakova2014),I argued that practice is important for learning second languages and especially their functional morphology,and I am very glad to read that Michel Paradis and I completely agree on that point.What is a remaining bone of contention is the so-called"interface issue",or whether explicit

Record your Agree : A case study of the Arabic complementizer Pinn / Marwan Jarrah // Journal of Linguistics Vol. 55- Issue 1/2019
2019.
p. 83-122.

This research investigates the morpho-syntactic behaviour of the Arabic complementizer Pinn in a range of Arabic varieties (Modern Standard Arabic, Jordanian Arabic, and Lebanese Arabic). It essentially argues that this complementizer SHARES (not DONATES or KEEPS, pace Ouali 2008, 2011) its unvalued φ-features with its complement T0 , something that makes Pinn and T0 separate agreeing heads. An inflectional suffix attached to Pinn is treated as a PF reflex (i.e. an overt morphological realization) of valuation of Pinn’s unvalued φ-features or lack thereof. This research also argues that the occurrence of such an inflectional suffix is ruled by the postulated AGREE CHAIN RECORD, an interface condition that demands an Agree relation to have a PF reflex, called a RECORD (i.e. an overt Case marking on the goal or, if not, a φ-affix on the probe). This way, we account for the complementary distribution of overt Case and φ-Agree in Arabic. We also show how a host of other phenomena, including word order agreement asymmetries in Modern Standard Arabic and lack of such asymmetries in Arabic vernaculars, fares well with this view.

Record your Agree : A case study of the Arabic complementizer ʔinn / Marwan Jarrah // Journal of Linguistics Vol. 55, Issue 1
2019.
p. 83-122.

This research investigates the morpho-syntactic behaviour of the Arabic complementizer ʔinn in a range of Arabic varieties (Modern Standard Arabic, Jordanian Arabic, and Lebanese Arabic). It essentially argues that this complementizer shares (not donates or keeps, pace Ouali 2008, 2011) its unvalued -features with its complement , something that makes ʔinn and separate agreeing heads. An inflectional suffix attached to ʔinn is treated as a PF reflex (i.e. an overt morphological realization) of valuation of ʔinn’s unvalued -features or lack thereof. This research also argues that the occurrence of such an inflectional suffix is ruled by the postulated Agree Chain Record, an interface condition that demands an Agree relation to have a PF reflex, called a Record (i.e. an overt Case marking on the goal or, if not, a -affix on the probe). This way, we account for the complementary distribution of overt Case and -Agree in Arabic. We also show how a host of other phenomena, including word order agreement asymmetries in Modern Standard Arabic and lack of such asymmetries in Arabic vernaculars, fares well with this view.
