This paper aims to explore the use and properties of bare infinitive and to-infinitives in Old, Middle, and Modern English. It is found that the use of the two types of infinitives in VOSI constructions receive a natural account under the proposed Implicative Condition. It is suggested that, in general, to-infinitival complements are preferred over bare infinitival complements in a variety of constructions in the history of English, except for the VOSI constructions. We have noted that, in addition to the nominal function, the to-infinitive has performed adjectival and adverbial functions in a variety of constructions in English. This paper then provides a unified account of the use of the two types of infinitives in VOSI, impersonal, and other constructions in the history of English in terms of a set of universal, hierarchical constraints.
Abstract
This paper aims to explore the use and properties of bare infinitive and to-infinitives in Old, Middle, and Modern English. It is found that the use of the two types of infinitives in VOSI constructions receive a natural account under the proposed Implicative Condition. It is suggested that, in general, to-infinitival complements are preferred over bare infinitival complements in a variety of constructions in the history of English, except for the VOSI constructions. We have noted that, in addition to the nominal function, the to-infinitive has performed adjectival and adverbial functions in a variety of constructions in English. This paper then provides a unified account of the use of the two types of infinitives in VOSI, impersonal, and other constructions in the history of English in terms of a set of universal, hierarchical constraints.
