Summary
Raising and control are two phenomena that have been at the forefront of linguistic theory. This chapter examines these phenomena and surveys the basic approaches to them in linguistic theory. The first section of this chapter surveys the basic properties of raising and control structures. Raising and control constructions differ in their ability to nominalize. The second section of this chapter presents the current Minimalist views on raising and control. The third section of this chapter shows the main approaches to raising and control in unification-based lexicalist theories. This chapter has presented the empirical foundations of raising and control constructions and has outlined major theoretical approaches to these constructions, with a focus on syntactic analyses. The true success of the debate between the syntactic and semantic approach to raising and control is to uncover a broader range of natural language phenomena.
