• Resumen

  • This paper presents an innovative description of syntactic constructions controlled by Arabic psychic verbs. It emphasizes the paratactic aspect of Standard Arabic by showing the productivity of the asyndetic junction between two finite verbs and the strong degree of grammaticalization of this kind of junction. These constructions, to the best of our knowledge, do not exist in Indo-European languages.
