목적어로서 사용된 부정사 구문 -『베오울프』와 『켄터베리 이야기』의 분석을 중심으로 = Infinitives used as objects With Reference to Data Analysis of Beowulf and Canterbury Tales

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to trace the development of English infinitives used as objects in terms of use, form, and position on the basis of the relationship between main verb and infinitive from Old English to Middle English by means of an analysis of Beowulf and Canterbury Tales, the masterpieces of the Old and Middle English periods. The number of main verbs with infinitives used as objects was limited to 12 in Old English text but it increased to 27 in the Middle English text, The verbs in this structure were limited to the verb of command, perception, recognition, permission, hope, etc. in Old English, but various verbs were used in the structure in Middle English. This shows that only a few main verbs In Old English got infinitives as objects, but in Middle English many kinds of main verbs got infinitives as objects, The ambiguity of active or passive meanings of infinitives occurred when infinitives were used as objects of the main verbs of perception and command in Old English, and the present study supports the scholars who have the view that the active meaning for the structure is made clear by adding the structural evidence to the sentence (the same structure appeared very often in the structure of `accusative with infinitives`). As objects `(for) to` infinitives were used in Middle English, while uninflected infinitives were used in Old English. This shows that `(for) to` infinitives in Middle English encroached on the area of uninflected infinitives in Old English. The word orders of infinitives in Old English became the normal order like that of Modem English more or less. This change is attributed to the simplification of inflectional endings in the Middle English period.
