Abstract
This paper is concerned with modeling the behaviour of Arabic noun complement object markers.
In this context, two problems were raised in literature: the first, which is morphosyntactical, try to
understand if these markers are argument of heads to which they belong or simple phonological
dependents; the second, morphological, try to verify if they are best treated as affixes or as postlexical clitics. The aim of this study is to revisit the second problem: we used different criteria which
are as a whole in favour of an affixal status for these units and not a clitical status
