Or more accurately: infinitival clauses with gaps that show A\u0092-properties. We will see evidence from clitic climbing and aspect that one such clause is small (vP-sized). These facts support a view of A\u0092-movement that can target the edge of vP and stop there, even in the absence of higher A\u0092 probes. We will additionally see that these clauses do not form a constituent with the DP that controls the gap, suggesting that they may attach higher as a type of adjunct purpose clause. This begs the question of how the gap comes to be associated with the matrix object. I will offer a preliminary analysis that these gaps are parasitic, which demands covert movement of matrix objects.
