Webelum (1995:18) however explained that x-bar theory is the control module of the principle and parameters approach in syntax.
A phrase in x-bar syntax always contain atleast a head. As well as other constituent (Cook 1988:94).
The

The specified combine with the top most x1 to form the maximal projection xp (xp spec: x1).
Adapted form haesman (1994:105).
Indeed
it has shown above that the linear order of the constituent with
respect to the head of the projection is not universally fixed.
However,
as proposed in Choamsky (1980) every maximal projection (xp) has a
specifier of xp position, the intermediate x projection serving as xp’s
core where.
The core consists of the head (x0) and the compliment which can be a maximal projection on it’s own.
