Subject: Inflected Infinitives in European Portuguese
I'm a Brazilian researcher working with inflected infinitives and I am nowinterested in dialectal diferences between the Brazilian and the Europeandialects. This is, then, a request for judgements from *European*Portuguese speakers.
For each sentence below, please give your grammaticality judgement for theversion with inflected infinitive and the version with uninflectedinfinitive, saying, for each version, if it is acceptable or not.
Replies should be sent directly to modestousp.br and I'll send a summaryof the replies to the list. Thank you all in advance.
