Description
This paper claims that the category VP, which is negated and reduced to the category S in GB-Theory, is essential for the syntax of to-infinitives. I will argue that the INFL system is inadequate as it stands when modals, do, have, and be are incorporated into it, and that some modals cannot be dealt with naturally without the category VP. Furthermore, it is shown that the infinitival marker to belongs to the category INF, and that INF is the head of VP in the same way that COMP is the head of the category S.
