On the theoretical description of the Nominativus cum infinitivo construction

Summary/Abstract: This study shows that in sentences with the Nominativus cum infinitivo (Nci) construction the context determining rection with regard to the nominal component is variable. With a view to the two main possibilities for functional-syntactic interpretation of the nominal element in the Nci-syntagm: as subject of the matrix sentence or subject of the subordinate infinitival clause, the construction can be classified into Type I - with subject control or PRO-Subject of the infinitive; and Type II - with an explicit subject of the infinitive. Complementation of one or the other type of Nci-syntagm depends on the semantics of verbum regens. Verbs with volitional meaning command the Nci-I type of construction, while raising verbs which are [-transitive], [+S’]-subcategorization frame, [+S’]--deletion select the Nci-II type.
