During the first and the second funding phase, the main topic of our project was the meaning constitution with participle and infinitival structures, mostly in embedded positions. Our leading question was how the semantic correlates of the missing morphological features are filled in and how the embedded non-finite structure benefits from its host. As many of our insights required a comparison with finite structures, in the third phase we extended our view to embedded structures in general. More precisely, we investigated the specific properties of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic embedding.
