Abstract:
"We present a detailed descriptive survey of infinitive constructions in Danish, discussing for each type of construction the possible choice(s) of logical subject or “controller” for the infinitive. The survey includes, but is not limited to, those infinitives commonly supposed to fall under the so-called “Control Theory”component of the Government and Binding paradigm, and the purpose of the survey is to collect the complete set of Danish data which such a theory presumably would have to be able to explain.
We conclude that the choice of infinitive controller is determi­ ned by the meaning of the construction in which it is a part and that it does not depend on any meaning-independent configurati­ onal structures. Also, we suggest that the entire concept of an in­ dependent control theory module of grammar is mistaken; but this suggestion is not defended in detail."
