The general aim of this dissertation is to examine the process of Spanish acquisition as a third language (AL3) by adults who have Arabic as a mother tongue and English as a second language. Specifically, our purpose is to study the properties of the Spanish Determiner Phrase (DP) of these learners. According to the Typological Primacy Model (Rothman, 2011, 2015), from the two languages that constitute the prior linguistic knowledge (PLK) of the L3 learner, the one that has a similar structure is the one that will influence the acquisition process. Focusing on sequential late bilinguals of Egyptian Arabic (L1) - English (L2), we study the role of PLK in the acquisition of the DP taking into account to what extent the similarities and differences between the languages of the PLK interfere in the formation of the interlanguage.Particularly, we investigate: (1) gender agreement, (2) the use of the article or possessive in structures of inalienable possession, and (3) the presence or absence of the article in generic structures. We have three types of experimental tasks: acceptability judgments, filling in the blanks, and forced choice ​
