On Bare Infinitives in English

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

the study demonstrates the distribution of English bare infinitives categorized with respect to the selecting main verb. With respect to more detailed and cross linguistic analysis of the variety of infinitival constructions in Wurmbrandt (2001), the English bare infinitives are defined as an example of bare v/VP structure. The second part of the study, based on the contrast between two kinds of English passives as in Emonds (2013), demonstrates that the verbal passive (contrary to adjectival passives) represents another kind of English bare v/VP structure. The comparison of the two kinds of English bare v/VP structures leads to a proposal about the structural source of the infinitival particle to. The study argues that to is a morphological signal of Object Rising, which is described as raising from the base generated Theta-marked position of Agent in SPEC(v) of the infinitive to the position of the structural object of the matrix verb in SPEC(V). The bare infinitive then signals a lack of this movement, which is an economically preferred variety accepted whenever possible, i. e. with late-inserted grammatical verbs in active voice.
