Absolute with-construction
quickinfo
The absolute with-construction contains a complementiser (the preposition with), the argument of the predication (Douwe) and the Verb Phrase (VP) predicate:
Example 1
| Mei [Douwe te útfanhúzjen] kinne se wolris in minne nacht ha |
| with Douwe to stay.overnight can they DcP a bad night have |
| With Douwe staying overnight, they could well have a bad night |
readmore
The to-infinitive is the only verb form allowed in the absolute with-construction. Other infinitives are not allowed:
Example 2
| a. | *Mei [Douwe útfanhúzje] kinne se wolris in minne nacht ha | ||||||||||||||
| with Douwe stay.overnight.OI can they DcP a bad night have | |||||||||||||||
| With Douwe staying overnight, they could well have a bad night | |||||||||||||||
| b. | *Mei [Douwe útfanhúzjen] kinne se wolris in minne nacht ha | ||||||||||||||
| with Douwe stay.overnight.GI can they DcP a bad night have | |||||||||||||||
| With Douwe staying overnight, they could well have a bad night | |||||||||||||||
The with-construction does not allow the syntactic expression of the object argument of the to-infinitive:
Example 3
| *Mei [Douwe kofje te drinken] kinne se wolris in minne nacht ha |
| with Douwe coffee to drink can they DcP a bad night have |
| With Douwe drinking coffee, they could well have a bad night |
The object argument must be morphologically incorporated:
Example 4
| Mei [Douwe te kofjedrinken] kinne se wolris in minne nacht ha |
| with Douwe to coffee.drink can they DcP a bad night have |
| With Douwe drinking coffee, they could well have a bad night |
