I discuss these constructions in detail and argue that no subject Case is available within the infinitival TP itself and that no functional head in the embedded clause is directly responsible for INFL. Instead, I propose that dative is assigned by a higher functional head (Mood) due to its exceptional properties, and INFL depends on a predication relation and does not manifest Agree.</span></div></blockquote><br class=""></div></div><div class="">
