영어 타동 into -ing 구문의 구성성

This squib offers a syntactic analysis of English transitive into –ing constructions, where, in the ‘V NP into –ing’ sequence, [NP into –ing] forms a syntactic constituent, excluding V. This binary structure analysis is confirmed by a wide range of empirical evidence such as movement, ellipsis, and coordination. The squib emphasizes the fact that the previous studies that proposed a ternary structure for the constructions under discussion encounter a serious empirical problem.
