This chapter analyses the four non-finite verb forms of OR: the infinitive, the supine, the past participle, and the gerund. While certain aspects involve more than one non-finite form (occurrence as formatives in periphrastic constructions, control and raising structures, the predicative value, the competition between non-finite and finite forms, etc.), other issues involve only one non-finite form (the long and short infinitive, the evolution of the nominal, underspecified and verbal supine, the adjectival past participle, the active vs. passive value of the past participle, etc.).Less
