“…Similar facts have been reported for Catalan and French (albeit in the latter case with some complications, cf. Labelle (1996) and Rowlett (2007)). Importantly however, in those Romance varieties where ECM causatives are available, the embedded infinitive can freely be negated, which suggests that in the relevant pattern the infinitival domain is endowed with a certain amount of functional superstructure of its own (examples from Torrego (2010: 451, her (9)) and Martins (2006: 328, her (3b)):…”

This chapter offers a unified account of two (at first blush independent) instances of syntactic change in Latin. Both developments are related to the system of clausal complementation. First, whereas Classical Latin typically uses infinitival clauses (so-called AcIs) to express embedded declaratives, these structures are later replaced by finite clauses, usually introduced by a complementizer. The opposite happens in the case of causatives, where a non-finite (infinitival) strategy is innovated. I propose that the key aspects of these two changes can be reduced to a single, more general, parametric change affecting Latin clause structure, namely the way in which the clausal EPP-requirement is satisfied, a change which affected possible patterns of subject placement (Danckaert 2017). The main mechanism needed to account for the observed facts is reanalysis of the Primary Linguistic Data by the language acquiring child.

“…també en aquest sentit l'estudi de Rizzi, 1982). Una qüestió que es planteja naturalment des d'aquesta perspectiva és si el verb resultant constitueix un predicat simple [V fer infinitiu], o si es manifesta en forma de predicat complex Rowlett (2007), per exemple, considera que els verbs en aquest tipus de construccions, i també en les construccions amb verb de percepció, funcionen com a verbs simples. Guasti (2017) també analitza aquestes construccions com a casos d'incorporació sintàctica en què el verb en infinitiu i el verb causatiu formen, en les seves paraules, un complex verb.…”
