| Abstract: | This article deals with the syntactic description of constructions such as: (Rom.) ‘N-am ce face’ / (Engl.) ‘I’ve got nothing to do’, which in the Romanian literature are usually named ‘infinitival relative clauses’. They do not correspond to what is currently considered an ‘infinitival relative clause’ in other languages (i.e. reduced relative clauses of the type ‘This novel is a book to read’). On the basis of their syntactic and semantic properties, I intend to show that in spite of the fact that such constructions exhibit features that are common to both relatives and interrogatives, infinitival relatives can be described as a distinct type of subordinate clause. |
