Wurmbrand on Tenseless Infinitives

Susi Wurmbrand. “Infinitives: A future without tense”. Talk given at the Jersey Syntax Circle, Princeton (April 2006).

I argue that i) certain infinitives lack semantic and syntactic tense; ii) future infinitives project a future modal woll syntactically; iii) propositional infinitives project a vacuous syntactic tense domain.
