The Syntax of Tenselessness is an in-depth investigation of verb-verb agreement phenomena in Swedish, including pseudocoordinations of the form John started and wrote 'John started writing' and double participles of the form John had been-able written 'John had been able to write'. The claim is that the relevant constructions involve (disguised) infinitivals that agree with the matrix clause in tense/mood/aspect, a surface reflex of restructuring. The book is an important contribution to the syntax of infinitivals, restructuring, and agreement in natural language.Wiklund, Anna-Lena is the author of 'Syntax of Tenselessness Tense/Mood/aspect-agreeing Infinitivals', published 2007 under ISBN 9783110190434 and ISBN 3110190435.
