Abstract:

The subject of nonfinite clauses is often missing, and yet is understood to
refer to some linguistic or contextual referent (e.g. 'Bill preferred __ to
remain silent' is understood as 'Bill preferred that he himself would remain
silent'). This dependency is the subject matter of control theory. Extensive
linguistic research into control constructions over the past five decades has
unearthed a wealth of empirical findings in dozens of languages. Their proper
classification and analysis, however, have been a matter of continuing debate
within and across different theoretical schools. This comprehensive book pulls
together, for the first time, all the important advances on the topic. Among
the issues discussed are: the distinction between raising and control,
obligatory and nonobligatory control, syntactic interactions with case,
finiteness and nominalization, lexical determination of the controller, and
phenomena like partial and implicit control. The critical discussions in this
work will stimulate students and scholars to further explorations in this
fascinating field.
