Incorporating to-infinitival clauses can function as an adjunct to verbs involving a change of location. On the one hand, their interpretation involves a change of location, and on the other hand, it involves an activity described by the infinitival verb. The following example is of an incorporating to-infinitival clause which specifies the activity correlated with the change of location described by the main verb:
Omdat syn heit him nei Grins ta stjoerde the teologystudearjen |
because his father him to Grins to sent to theology.study |
Because his father sent him to Grins to study theology |
The incorporated to-infinitival clause corresponds with a full infinitival clause of purpose. So the type of infinitival clause given above entails the clause below as a characteristic property:
Omdat syn heit him nei Grins ta stjoerde om teology te studearjen |
because his father him to Grins to sent for theology to study |
Because his father sent him to Grins to study theology |
The literature may refer to the type of incorporating infinitivals discussed here as sentential infinitival clauses. Incorporating to-infinitivals functioning as adjuncts are also found with copulas of change of location having a complement in the form of an adposition (see As an adpositional complement to be and modals involving an absentive change of location).
This type of infinitival clause can in many cases be replaced by an Adposition Phrase (PP):
a. | Omdat syn heit him nei Grins ta stjoerde te teologystudearjen | ||||||||||||||
because his father him to Grins to sent to theology.study | |||||||||||||||
Because his father sent him to Grins to study theology |
b. | Omdat syn heit him dêrfoar nei Grins ta stjoerde | ||||||||||||||
because his father him R.for to Grins to sent | |||||||||||||||
Because his father sent him to Grins for that purpose |
There seems to be a residual meaning difference between the PP and the infinitival adjunct. This type of infinitival adjunct characteristically occurs with verbs denoting a change of location. Some examples are given below:
a. | Omdat er allinnich by ús komt te baasspyljen | ||||||||||||||
because he only to us comes to boss.play | |||||||||||||||
Because he only visits us to play the boss |
b. | Omdat se de auto nei de garaazje brocht te trochsmarren | ||||||||||||||
because she the car to the garage brought to through.smear | |||||||||||||||
Because she brought the car to the garage to be lubricated |
c. | Omdat ik altyd nei Snits ta gean te kleankeapjen | ||||||||||||||
because I always to Snits to go to clothes.buy | |||||||||||||||
Because I always go to Snits to buy clothes |
The following example is somewhat different, since it does not involve a change of location, but a copula involving lack of change of location:
Omdat er yn 'e hûs bliuwt te meihelpen |
because he in the house stays to with.help |
Because he stays in the house to help them |
The interpretation does involve location in the sense that the subject of the verb associates a location with an activity. This aspectual copula allows to-infinitivals on either side:
a. | Minsken dy't nachts te sliepen bliuwe | ||||||||||||||
people who nights to sleep stay | |||||||||||||||
People who stay overnight |
b. | Fûn mem it goed dat ik hjir bliuw te sliepen? | ||||||||||||||
found mother it good that I here stayed to sleep | |||||||||||||||
Did my mother agree to me staying here overnight? |
The following sentences are both ungrammatical:
a. | ?*Omdat er nachts bliuwt te oerwurkjen | ||||||||||||||
because he night stays to over.work | |||||||||||||||
Because he stays at night to work overtime |
b. | *Omdat er nachts te oerwurkjen bliuwt | ||||||||||||||
because he night to over.work stays | |||||||||||||||
Because he stays at night to work overtime |
The second example may be ungrammatical because the incorporated infinitival is forced into the complement position, which is not allowed with this verb which requires a locational complement. The first example is ungrammatical because the incorporated infinitival can only be interpreted as an adjunct if there is a locative complement. It is indeed the case that the first example improves if a locative PP is added:
?Omdat er nachts yn 'e fabryk bliuwt te oprêden en te oerwurkjen |
because he night in the factory stays to up.clean and over.work |
Because he stays in the factory at night to clean up and work overtime |
Examples involving this verb seem to involve locative control, that is, the location of the copula bliuwestay controls the location of the infinitival clause, in a way that is reminiscent of subject control.
Adjuncts related to a change of location, as discussed in this section, differ from adpositional complements related to a change of location. The adpositional complement may co-occur with a PP denoting movement, but the copular verb itself does not denote movement. The infinitival adjunct, on the other hand, co-occurs with a verb denoting movement. Furthermore, the linear distribution of the infinitival complements is sensitive to the lexical presence or absence of a PP of movement.
