Abstract:

Control, typically defined as a specific referential dependency between the
null-subject of a non-finite embedded clause and a co-dependent of the matrix
predicate, has been subject to extensive research in the last 50 years. While
there is a broad consensus that a distinction between Obligatory Control (OC),
Non-Obligatory Control (NOC) and No Control (NC) is useful and necessary to
cover the range of relevant empirical phenomena, there is still less agreement
regarding their proper analyses. In light of this ongoing discussion, the
articles collected in this volume provide a cross-linguistic perspective on
central questions in the study of control, with a focus on non-canonical
control phenomena. This includes cases which show NOC or NC in complement
clauses or OC in adjunct clauses, cases in which the controlled subject is not
in an infinitival clause, or in which there is no unique controller in OC
(i.e. partial control, split control, or other types of controllers). Based on
empirical generalizations from a wide range of languages, this volume provides
insights into cross-linguistic variation in the interplay of different
components of control such as the properties of the constituent hosting the
controlled subject, the syntactic and lexical properties of the matrix
predicate as well as restrictions on the controller, thereby furthering our
empirical and theoretical understanding of control in grammar.
