I am in search for data (i.e. example sentences) on the Portuguese
personal infinitive. I am especially interested in examples where
only the personal or impersonal infinitives can be used, and in the
semantic and/or stylistic differences where both are possible (with
illustrative examples). If you have bibliographic data as well, please
let me know.
Here are some concrete questions:
1) Is there some preference for one of the two constructions with modal
verbs (can, want, know)? What about constructions such as "to let/make
someone do something"?
2) What about the personal / impersonal infinitive after verbs of
perception (see, hear) and verbs of saying (say, think, ask)?
3) What about infinitives after prepositions?
4) What about negated infinitives?
Please reply directly to me (preferably with concrete examples).
Thank you very much!
Martin
