As two major minimalist approaches, i.e. Movement Theory of Control and Agree Theory of Control, have been in competition for a number of years now, we find it well-motivated to confront the predictions both theories make for complex sets of data from different languages. In doing so, we hope that we will bring closer the prospect of unifying various approaches to control. Among the issues that we would like to discuss are: * Exhaustive vs. Partial Control * Control shift * Split Control * Case transmission and case independence * Control constructions with predicative adjectives * Super-Equi constructions * Adjunct control * Control into nominals We also hope that our session will not only contribute meaningfully to the ongoing research on control but also shed more light on those aspects of control in Polish which have not been fully explored so far. Convener: Jacek Witkoś (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland) Call for Papers Presentations in this session should deal with the general theme of the syntax of infinitives and gerunds, including (but not being restricted to): * Exhaustive vs. Partial Control * Control shift * Split Control * Case transmission and case independence * Control constructions with predicative adjectives * Super-Equi constructions * Adjunct control * Control into nominals Abstracts in the length of 250-500 words should comply with the general guidelines of the PLM conference and be submitted via EasyChair system at http://ifa.amu.edu.pl/plm/2011/Abstract_submission by January 21st 2011 (should you miss this deadline, check this website or http://ifa.amu.edu.pl/plm/2011/Infinitives_and_gerunds for a possible deadline extension).
