An emerging future infinitive in present day German?

Reiner, Tabea (2015): An emerging future infinitive in present day German? In: Open Linguistics, Bd. 1, Nr. 1: S. 503-518

Abstract

This paper puts forward the hypothesis that there is a future infinitive evolving in present day German and addresses the theoretical consequences that this might have. Section 1 gives the basic definitions as well as some introductory examples. Section 2 presents evidence in favour of the hypothesis, and possible objections are considered in section 3. Finally, section 4 focusses on more theoretical implications.
