Abstract
5.0 In the preceding chapters a considerable amount of evidence has been accumulated for a Hungarian sentence structure containing a non-configurational propositional component generated by the rule S→V Xn*.At the same time, several pieces of evidence have been presented against an S→NP INFL VP base, too. Most of the evidence consisted in showing that the subject-object assymetries known from configurational languages do not exist in Hungarian; in the Hungarian sentence the subject and object display a parallel syntactic behaviour.
This chapter has benefited considerably from the and observations concerning hungarian infinitives of Dalmi (1981).
