• The Scale of Finiteness and the Calculus of Control (2004, background): “…as pro (Farkas 1985; Turano 1994; Philippaki-Warburton 1987; Philippaki-Warburton and Catsimali 1999) answer (18a) negatively and (18b) positively.14 14 Wurmbrand (2002, 2003) argues that the core “semantic” cases of OC involve bare VP complementation, with no syntactic subject (PRO).”
• Realizing Germanic Inflection: Why Morphology Does Not Drive Syntax (2002, background): “Recently, Wurmbrand (2001) has provided extensive evidence (from German and other languages) that infinitival complements differ in the amount of functional structure they contain (if any) above the VP. Excluding some intermediate constructions, her arguments show that control complements have a…”
• Tense and Aspect in English Infinitives (2014, methodology): “…projection; see Wurmbrand 2013) is compatible with the tense properties and (b) the predicates in (66) are among the core restructuring predicates crosslinguistically (see Wurmbrand 2001)—that is, as suggested in section 3.3.2, constructions that arguably involve a truncated infinitival structure.”
• On the functional structure of locative and directional PPs (2010, background): “V [CP C [DxP Dx[TENSE] [AspP Asp [VP V ...]]]] The structure in (65a), where the higher lexical verb takes a ‘naked’ VP as its complement, is grammatical, and arguably attested in ‘clause union’ or ‘restructuring’ constructions (see Wurmbrand 2001 for extensive discussion).”
• Now I’m a Phase, Now I’m Not a Phase: On the Variability of Phases with Extraction and Ellipsis (2014, background): “An additional complicating factor is that it is not clear where to is located (it is standardly placed in T, but see Wurmbrand 2001; see also footnote 48 regarding certain derivations that will be ignored here).”
