Infinitives: Restructuring and Clause Structure offers a detailed study of the clausal architecture of infinitival constructions providing a unified analysis of restructuring, control, modals, and raising. The book critically evaluates previous proposals from both syntactic and semantic perspectives and presents a new analysis incorporating many recent developments in generative linguistic theory. In addition to its theoretical contribution, Infinitives contains a detailed descriptive overview of a range of constructions, primarily from the Germanic languages and will thus not only be of value to generative linguists but will also serve as a general reference source for those interested in the Germanic languages.
"Wurmbrands Distributionsanalysen gehen vor allem der Idee nach, daß syntaktische Struktur und semantische Interpretation parallel laufen. Dabei verfolgt die Verafsserin eine große Zahl deutscher Verbeinbettungen bei Modalverben, Anhebungskonstruktionen, langer Objektversetzung und Rekonstruierungskonfigurationen. Theoretische Folgerungen ebenso wie empirische Proben am deutschen Material werden zweifellos anregende Wirkung vor allem für Spiegelungen in anderen germanischen Sprachen haben."
