In this article the authoress discusses Czech infinitival structures to illustrate the classification and methods of analyses used in generative framework. Introducing the null category of PRO she shows the distinctions between Raising and Control verbs, between ECM verbs and PROOBJ structures. She also describes the process of restructuralization and the diagnostics of the phenomena in more detail. The authoress mentions some existing studies of Czech infinitives and the most influential analyses in English, Italian and German. She concludes that the present-day analyses of infinitives are still in many aspects problematic and they depend on the development of the field, including the format of the structure and assumptions concerning the distribution of thematic roles.

Partial Control is Trickier Than We Thought

This paper discusses partial control, a notoriously intricate phenomenon. Brought to the linguistic limelight only recently (cf. Landau 2000), its bizarre nature renders it a real challenge to any theory of control. I contribute to the Agree vs. Move debate on control by making an empirical claim concerning cases of what I call Parasitic Partial Control Effects which are extremely problematic to Landau's Agree Theory of Control. To account for these facts, I propose a solution framed within the theory of control based on Move. Refining insights in Rodrigues (2007), I suggest that the licensing of the PC effect depends on the presence of the projection of woll P dominated by TP in the structure of the infinitive and the sideward movement of the DP controller from within the adjunct to the matrix. Thus, Landau's claim that partial control is licensed only in complements must be loosened (if not dropped).
