Contents:
Frontmatter -- Preface and acknowledgments -- Table of contents -- List of contributors -- 1. Infinitival patterns and their diachronic dynamics: Questions and challenges -- I . Acl verbs and restructuring effects -- 2. Restructuring at the syntax-semantics interface -- 3. The Romanian infinitive selected by perception and cognition verbs -- 4. A diachronic perspective on the semantics of AcI clauses in Greek -- II. Infinitive structures versus other non-finite and finite patterns -- 5. Finite, infinitival and verbless complementation: The case of believe, suppose and find -- 6. Early Modern Romanian infinitives: origin and replacement -- 7. Semantic factors for the status of control infinitives in the history of German -- 8. Anti-agreeing infinitives in Old Hungarian -- 9. The emergence of expressions for purpose relations in older Indo-European languages -- 10. Main clause infinitival predicates and their equivalents in Slavic: Why they are not instances of insubordination -- Language index -- Subject index
Summary: The major aim of this volume is to investigate infinitival structures from a diachronic point of view and, simultaneously, to embed the diachronic findings into the ongoing theoretical discussion on non-finite clauses in general. All contributions subscribe to a dynamic approach to infinitival clauses by investigating their origin, development and loss in miscellaneous patterns and across different languages.
