The Categorial Status of Infinitives and Gerunds in English and Czech
Original language description
The paper analyses characteristics of English "verbal" forms concentrating first on the similarity of infinitives and gerunds as lexical heads of their phrasal projections. The data show that both of them can fairly be labelled as verbal categories, if their head properties are considered internally to their phrases. However, this study also sums up the data showing a systematically distinct distribution of the phrases headed by infinitives and gerunds. The contrast demonstrates a categorial distinctionbetween their phrasal labels, signalling the characteristics of DP (for gerunds) and VP (for infinitives). To explain the apparently exocentric nature of the gerundials, the study provides a theoretical explanation of the phenomena in a formal syntacticframework. It thus argues against a concept of a fuzzy categorial system proposing that if a clear distinction is made between the head label and the label of its projection, the categorial system can use clear cut labels and has the pot
