Abstract:

This volume sheds light upon one of the most emblematic constructions in
Ibero-Romance: adverbial infinitives with specified subjects (e.g. al entrar
Juan (Sp), para eles verem o resultado (Ptg)). The study attempts to fill an
empirical gap and offers a cognitive-functional and comparative account on
these constructions.

The first part provides an overview of the notions of infinitive, subject and
adverbial clauses. The second part consists of two empirical case studies.
First, the use of the Portuguese inflected infinitive is shown to be sensitive
to factors as the mental accessibility of the infinitival subject, the
syntactic-semantic autonomy of the clause, the verbal nature of the infinitive
and clausal status of the construction. Second, Spanish and Portuguese
infinitives with overt subjects are shown to have different properties: in
Portuguese they are more complex and clause-like (having more prototypical
subjects and infinitives closer to the verbal prototype), while Spanish
infinitives with proper subjects have a simpler structure and are more nominal
in nature.

More generally, this dissertation illustrates the flexible behaviour of the
infinitive in different languages, even in two closely related languages.
