| summary | The article notes a number of exceptions (from German dialects) to the rule that a perfective verb does not take an infinitival right-complement unless it is itself turned into an infinitive (the IPP-effect) and concludes that the relevant infinitives are extraposed, so that the generalization can be upheld. Taking the generalization to be correct, the article proposes that the IPP-form is historically derived from ge-less participles, at a point when ge still marked completive aspect. |
