Landau, Idan (2001) Elements of Control: Structure and Meaning in Infinitival Constructions, John Benjamins, Amsterdam.

Exhaustive Control: implicative, aspectual, modal

(8) a. The chair managed to gather the committee at 6.

      b. *The chair managed to gather at 6.

      c. Mary knew that John began to work (*together) on the project.

 

Partial Control: factive, propositional, desiderative, or interrogative

(9) a. The chair preferred to gather at 6.

     c. Mary thought that John didn't know where to go together.

 

Exhaustive/Partialの違いは、不定詞のtenseに結びついている。tenseのある・なしはto不定詞節内で主節とは違った時間を表す副詞句を認可できるかどうかで判断される。

 

(11) a. *Yesterday, John managed to solve the problem tomorrow.

        b. Yesterday, John wanted to solve the problem tomorrow.

 

?目的を表すto不定詞の副詞的用法は[+tense]とみてよいのか?
