Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the difficulties encountered by Arabic speakers in the acquisition of the subcategorization features of infinitive verbs (i.e., verbs which can take the infinitive complement). Subcategorization features are used in the correct selection of the complement-type each verb allows.
