-* The be-passive is stylistically neutral but get-passives are a mark of informal style. They are used for describing situations where the subject-referent is involved in bringing the situation about, or where there is an adverse or beneficial effect on the subject-referent. If no such factor is present, only the be-passive is acceptable. (Huddleston & Pullum, Introduction to English Grammmar, 2005, p. 245).+* Métaphore et métamorphose dans ''New Selected Poems''

-Causative constructions refer to complex predicates formed by the combination+
-of a causative event with an underlying predicate. The addition of the causative+
-verbal element also adds a new participant (a causer), which initiates or controls+
-the event of the underlying predicate. Typologically, several diverse methods+
-are used for forming causatives[…/…]. Some causative constructions appear as+
-a single morphological word, while others are formed periphrastically by+
-adding a causative verb to the base predicate. Structurally, certain causative+
-predicates behave as mono-clausal constructions denoting direct causation,+
-while others display properties of a biclausal construction and represent an+
-indirect causation of the underlying event.+

-===Subordonnées nominales en TO===+===Wordsworth et Coleridge===
-* [T]he infinitive evokes an event, and to, the movement from an instant situated before this event up to the instant at which the event begins. (P. Duffley, The English Infinitive, 1992, p.17). +* "[A]wakening the mind's attention from the lethargy of custom" in ''Lyrical Ballads'' (S.T. Coleridge, ''Biographia Literaria'', Chap. XIV)
-* Nominal clauses function in a way similar to noun phrases, in that they may function as subjects or objects/complements in the main clause. (Ronald Carter & Michael McCarthy, Cambridge Grammar of English, 2007, p.565). +* Anecdotes in ''Lyrical Ballads''
-* On pourrait dire que ce qui sépare to des membres de la classe des modaux, cřest le fait que to ne dit rien sur les chances de réalisation de la prédication alors que les modaux, par nature, sont des instruments de modalisation interne, qui renferment un certain programme sémantique en plus de leur rôle plus formel au niveau de la prédication prédicative. Bref, it est absolument neutre quant à la réalisation effective de la soudure prédicationnelle. (Henri Adamczewski, Grammaire linguistique de l‟anglais, 1982, p.16). +* Simplicity in ''Lyrical Ballads''
-* The TO-infinitive clause usually has no subject, although its subject is implied by the context."+* « Strange power of speech » p. 77, l. 620.
-(G. Leech, A Glossary of English Grammar, 2006, p. 113). Discuss.+* « [T]he sympathies of men » (Preface to Lyrical Ballads [1800], 2005, (p. 290).
-* L'absence de sujet devant la forme non finie est généralement ramenée à un phénomène de co-référence, mais la non co-référence est tout à fait licite après certains verbes. Un exemple de non co-référence avec TO et l'infinitif apparaît dans des exemples qu'on peut considérer+* The sense of community in ''Lyrical Ballads''
-comme des exemples de discours rapporté, say étant avant tout un prédicat qui introduit un contenu propositionnel sans que les relations intersubjectives soient prépondérantes." (A. Deschamps, in Morphosyntaxe du lexique 1, Travaux du Cerlico n°15, 2002, p. 31-46).+* Dramatic narrative in ''Lyrical Ballads''
-Comment.+* Motion and Emotion in ''Lyrical Ballads''
-* I propose that all readings come from the inherent intentional reading of the [to]-complement interacting with contextual semantic factors such as governing predicate, modality and time." (J. Bresnan, 1979, Theory of Complementation in English Syntax, p.88). Comment.+* The Poetics of Discovery in ''Lyrical Ballads''
-* In Syntax, Vol. 2 (2001: 40), Givón writes: "Defined in the broadest semantic terms, verbal complements (V-Comp) are clauses that function as subject or object arguments of other clauses. But the resemblance between verbal complements and nominal arguments is only partial. At best, one may say that verbal complements are constructed by analogy with clausal subjects and objects. +
-a. She wanted an apple +
-b. She wanted to eat an apple +
-Since the prototype subject or object is nominal, it is only natural that complement clauses, even when not fully nominalized, should display some facets of non-finite, nominalized syntax." +
-Explain, discuss and exemplify using relevant examples from the corpus. +
-* By definition, assertion is exclusively a function of finite verbs; and whatever is done by non-finites - e.g. by that non-finite called Řinfinitive,ř such as to leave, to rain - will not be called assertion. (Joos, The English Verb, 1964, p. 14).+

-LLG3B Selon le linguiste Otto Jespersen, "It is no wonder that after all this purposeless talking about+
-logical [semantic] and psychological in [topic] subjects some writers have tried to avoid the+
-term subject altogether […]. Nothing, however, is gained by this. It is much better to retain the+
-traditional terms, but to restrict them to domains where everybody knows what they import,+
-i.e. to use subject and predicate exclusively in the sense of grammatical subject and predicate,+

-LLG5B Nous pouvons dire que le sujet relève d’une problématique sémantique : « Le sujet est+
-l’argument obligatoire qui instancie les traits sémiques fondamentaux du verbe. [...] Cette+
-définition sémantique est liée au fait que le contenu sémique du verbe est donné+
-minimalement par le nombre d’arguments qu’il a et par le fait que l’adjonction ou le retrait+
-d’un argument modifie le contenu sémique. [...] Cette définition notionnelle du sujet doit+
-s’enrichir d’une réflexion sur les rôles sémantiques, c’est-à-dire la part que prend le référent+

-element that is most often present.”+
-Discutez ce point de vue.+
-LLG7B Selon le linguiste R. Huddleston "The grammar makes available a variety of different ways of+
-expressing the same proposition so that at a particular point in a spoken discourse or written+

-LLG11B Discutez l’affirmation suivante du linguiste Daniel Kies :+
-"Traditional grammar books and school grammars often define the subject along semantic+
-lines: they refer to the subject as “what the sentence is about” or as “the topic of the sentence”+
-or as the “actor performing the action described by the verb”. […/…] However, such+
-definitions are misleading, since those older definitions blend and conflate different ideas that+
-are best understood if kept apart."+

-LLG12A Selon le linguiste M.A.K. Halliday, "There is a close semantic relationship between+
-information structure and thematic structure. Other things being equal, a speaker will choose+
-the Theme from what is Given, and locate the focus, the climax of the New, somewhere+
-within the Rheme.+
-But although they are related, Given+New and Theme+Rheme are not the same thing. The+
-Theme is what I, the speaker, choose to take as my point of departure. The Given is what you,+
-the listener, already know about or have accessible to you. Theme+Rheme is speaker-oriented,+
-while Given+New is listener-oriented.+
-But both are, of course, speaker-selected".+
-M.A.K. Halliday, 1985, An Introduction to Functional Grammar, p.299+
-Dans quelle mesure ces remarquent se rattachent-elles à l aproblématique du sujet.+
-LLG13B Selon l’Encyclopédie Bartleby (http://www.bartleby.com), "English sentences usually have a+
-subject and a predicate; subjects are nouns or other nominals, and in the most typical English+
-sentence pattern, the subject will precede the verb and will agree with it in number. In active+
-voice sentences, the subject is the doer of the action indicated by the verb".+

-LLG16B “At the general level the subject may be defined as that functional element in the structure of+
-the clause that prototypically expresses : (i) the semantic role of agent, and (ii) the+
