It contains details of the non-finite complementation patterns of over 300 matrix verbs, with a particular emphasis on verbs that occur with more than one type of non-finite complement. Drawing upon data from the British National Corpus, the author shows that some of the views which are to be found in the existing literature on these sorts of clauses are in conflict with the evidence of actual usage. He also shows that there is actually much more regularity in this area than has often been taken to be the case. Moreover, this regularity is shown to be motivated by cognitive-functional factors. An appendix contains details of the relative frequency of all of the constructions dealt with in the study, together with an example of each of them. The book is of interest to language teachers as well as linguists, both theoretical and applied. 410 0$aLanguage and Computers$v65. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xInfinitival constructions 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComplement 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComplement$2fast 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xInfinitival constructions$2fast 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xInfinitival constructions. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComplement. 615 7$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComplement. 615 7$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xInfinitival constructions. 676 $a415 700 $aEgan$b Thomas$01788549 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956798603321 996 $aNon-finite complementation$94323583 997 $aUNINA
