  • Language-Internal Explanation

    Open AccessDavid M Perlmutter, John C Moore et al.ARTICLELanguage2002Cited by: 9

    This article exemplifies language-internal explanation. It seeks to document and to explain the inability of Russian impersonal clauses to be infinitival. We argue that this gap is the consequence of two independent facts of Russian grammar: a case restriction on a silent expletive pronoun and the requirement that subjects of infinitival clauses be dative.
