Liesbeth Augustinus, Frank Van Eynde · Lirias · 2012

Based on a division into subject raising, subject control, and object raising verbs, syntactic and semantic distinctions are drawn to account for the differences and similarities between verbs triggering Infinitivus Pro Participio (IPP) in Dutch.

The classification is based on IPP-triggers occurring in two treebanks.
