La costruzione tian (tun) + infinito nel dialetto tedesco di Merano*

The second has to do with their packaging of information: in both cases, higher communicative prominence is given to an event (VP) rather than a participant (NP or PP). The expression of the event is broken down into two separable components, its existence (an event is expressed without being specified, …
