Abstract
This paper discusses a particular adjectival construction in Arabic, in which an adjective is modified by a noun which is assigned genitive case by the adjective. Although the genitive noun appears to be the subject of the adjective, it is shown that this is actually not the case. Rather, the genitive noun is an internal argument of the adjective. The adjective plus noun combination is used as a predicate, and the noun specifies to which aspect of the subject the adjective specifically applies.
