This study reports on the noun phrase of Harari. It gives a descriptive account of thernstructure of the noun phrase in the language.rnHarari is among the Ethioc Semitic languages on which so far little linguistic studies havernbeen made and documented. The descriptive works on the language are not comp leternand most except a chosen few are sketchy. This proves a cons id erable research gaprnand lack of descriptive work s pertaining to the language in general and its syntax inrnparticular. This has led to the present thesis which would be the first detailed syntacticrnstudy on the language presented after a decade since Teshome (1992) . . Its pertinacityrnwould therefore be to some extenttei address the lack of descriptive works on thernlanguage.rnThis study, based on syntactic-semantic grounds, describes certai n grammatical orrnlexical formatives - articles and quantifiers - as specifiers; and other phrasal structures -rnadjectival and nominal phrasal structures - and clausal structures - relative clauses - asrncomplements. Both of these are optional and position ally pronominal structuralrnconstituent s that may occur with an obligatory simple nominal head in noun phrases. Itrnalso discloses that the two hold independent structural positions when both occur in thernsame noun phrase structure. The specifiers always precede the phrasal and clausalrncategories described as complements .rnTh e study also claims that, in Harari, there is no morphological affix for definiteness, andrnargues that the forms z and z are distribution ally distinct markers introducing relativernclauses co institutionalize and imperfection verb forms respective rnIn general, this stud y provides empirical evidence for classifying Harari as a head-finalrnlanguage.
