Abstract	:	The purpose of this thesis is to examine VP-ellipsis in Modern Standard Arabic and Syrian Arabic (abbreviated throughout as MSA and SA, respectively). It is our intention to provide an in-depth analysis of the nature of VP-ellipsis in coordinated constructions in both varieties of Arabic. The study of VP-ellipsis in linguistics has received an extensive examination with respect to English, especially from a syntactic theory point of view; however, this is not the case in MSA and SA. One reason for investigating this linguistic phenomenon is to invalidate the allegation that VP-ellipsis in Arabic is a peripheral phenomenon; rather, it is an important device which has not been systematically examined by linguists. Indeed, one can find very few studies that have been done on the subject.
