Abstract- It is apparent that different clausal functions are assigned to the so-called ‘Almafa'eel’ (objects) in Arabic. This study is an attempt at exploring the syntactic and semantic properties of objects in Arabic, providing certain verification features which can characterise elements functioning as object. In addition, two relevant concepts are considered here, namely transitivity and passivisation.
Keywords- Arabic, objects, syntactic functions
