'''A-position''' ist a position that in [[D-structure]] can be occupied by an [[argument]]. A-positions are positions to which a [[theta-role]] can be assigned (subject and object positions). A-positions are also known as Argument positions. A position which is not an A-position is called an A'-position (A-bar-position).

===Examples===
The NPs ''John and apples'' in the sentence ''John eats apples'' are in A-positions (in D-structure).

The position occupied by operators such as ''who'' in e.g. ''who does he see?'' is an A'-position. Another term for A'-position is Non-Argument position.
