ABSTRACT
First we may have a primary alone or, in other words, a nexus without an adnex. This is seen in such an English sentence as (Did they run 1) Yea, 1 made them: this means the same thing as 1 made them run, and thus, however paradoxical it may sound, it is an accusative-with-infinitive without the infinitive; them implies a real nexus and is different from the object in (Who made the8e frames 1 ) I made them. In the same way in colloquial English we may have an isolated to standing as a representative of an infinitive with to: I told them to (= I told them to run). Psychologically these are cases of aposiopesis (' stop-short sentences' or ' pull-up sentences,' as I have called them, Language. 251): the infinitive is left out as in (Will you play 1) Yea, 1 will, or Yea, I am going to (1 am willing to, anxious to).
