allow me to remind you of two concepts which, to my mind, have proved fruitful both in the descriptive analysis and the typology of non-finite constructions:</p>

is on #1 and takes you to #2.<br>
<br>
Unless I am mistaken, concept #1 was introduced into linguistics by Östen Dahl. Both concepts have been used, i.a., by Nikolaus Himmelmann in his analysis of the Philippine voice system (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/files/24331/AP15NF-Himmelmann(1991).pdf)__;!!PDiH4ENfjr2_Jw!ASzu9_SseKlDubdVx8GJo0LlDmLtf1YDEHRj0P6joc3H4sE11M1MzV7kpRs-_CpL9LiGSVTkeqnF_Aoq1ULjihSPfh2s_YIuQauG-w$">http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/files/24331/AP15NF-Himmelmann(1991).pdf)
