Language Change and Infinitival Complements in Old French (Syntax, Historical, Romance)

Abstract

dc:description

This study presents an analysis of infinitival complement constructions in Old French which differ syntactically from their Modern French parallels. The analysis is formulated in the terms of the Government and Binding framework and it has the aim both of accounting for the constructions in question on the basis of the evidence available from textual sources and of providing indications as to the means of describing the subsequent evolution of the constructions.
