Abstract:

This study aims at developing a unified perspective on nonfiniteness,
encompassing its morphological, syntactic and semantic aspects. It puts the
emphasis on clause types distinct from standard infinitives (gerund clauses,
Celtic verbo-nominal structures, Portuguese inflected infinitives, Latin
dominant participle constructions) and takes advantage of the most recent
developments in syntactic theory. The notions of defectiveness and
completeness, the inheritance hypothesis, the labeling requirement, the
syntactic definition of lexical categories, once combined together, appear to
make accessible tighter and more elegant analyses than previous accounts.
