It is shown that the reanalysis of the infinitive marker to from a lexical category P to a functional category T in Middle English led to the establishment of the infinitival vP as a phase, as well as the introduction of a PRO subject in infinitival clauses, triggering the loss of restructuring, especially scrambling from control infinitives, during the sixteenth century. Then, it is argued that a functional category Pred(ication) arose in small clauses as a consequence of the loss of morphological agreement between their subjects and predicates, which in turn caused the loss of small clause restructuring, manifested as leftward movement of (part of) small clause predicates in early English, during the eighteenth century.}, pages = {69--88}, title = {再構成と非定形節における機能範疇の出現}, volume = {58}, year = {2012} }
