This apparent diversity is mainly due to how syntactic rules confine the scope and the flexibility of movement of certain constituents inside and outside their syntactic domains. This paper examines solely how the mother tongue from which all these varieties have emanated, i.e. Standard Arabic can be obviously analyzed as a configurational language that tends to surface in a way similar to nonconfigurational languages at certain surface levels where determinative phrases ‘DPs’ lend themselves freely to move and result in various templates frequently realized as VSO, OVS, OSV and VOS. These configurational structures seem problematic to construe in many vernacular Arabic varieties, mainly, in Suburbanite Northern Jordanian Arabic because of the scarcity of effective inflectional morphology such varieties exploit rather than pragmatic factors. Keywords: Configurational, non-configurational; determinative phrase; template; movement; inflections; constituents  \n1. Introduction  \nArabic, the researcher ’s native language, is one of the major Semitic language, so it goes without saying that it shares many features with a bunch of dead or recently revived languages such as Hebrew, Acadian, Mesopotamian, and Aramaic. It ’s axiomatic, therefore, that such languages are morphologically rich languages par excellence; thus, their grammars and even pragmatics do frequently overlap in a subtle manner. Hundreds of vernacular dialects are deeply rooted and prevalent in the Arab World. Standard Arabic is a common denominator that all Arab countries have in common since it is the language of their Holy Book, official education, legal jargon as well as the innumerable space channels and other means of mass media. Evidently, there are half a dozen of major dialects in Jordan, the researcher ’s homeland.  \nSyntactic structures of Jordanian Arabic and Standard Arabic meet at certain points and show radical contrast oftentimes. To narrow the scope of the current research, this paper in principle aims at shedding light on some fundamental aspects of syntactic assumptions and their implementation as well as implications vis-a-vis Arabic determinative Phrases (henceforth DPs), more specifically whether such DPs technically undergo a process of movement or scrambling in the final analysis (see Larson 1988, Kayne 1994) . This may trigger a need to hold some contrastive analysis between Arabic DPs and English ones when divergence substantially occurs. The data of this paper owes specific reference to both Standard Arabic (SA) and Suburbanite Northern Jordanian Arabic (SNJA), since the researcher strictly claims she is a native speaker of both. A review of the current relevant literature is briefly carried out to investigate the state of affairs of such movement/scrambling processes to see if there is any syntactic evidence that may trigger such a phenomenon and/ or if there is some more intricate pragmatic and morphological interface that may best support the analysis of the data (cf., Andrews 1996, N. Albzour 2015, et al) .  \nIt has been the prime concern of linguists, in general, and syntacticians, in particular to account for a universal premise that may best describe language under a unified universal umbrella despite the substantial differences among world languages.
