metadata.value: The article discusses functional-grammatical features of the morphology and syntax of
  the infinitive which is the most obvious verbum infinitum in the Swedish verb paradigm.
  The suggested interpretation argues that the traditional distinction of Swedish
  grammars between verbal and nominal functions of the infinitive can be replaced by
  an opposition of infinitival functions proper and substantive-infinitival functions. The
  infinitival function proper includes the use of the infinitive in verb chains (mostly as part
  of the predicate), in adverbial circumlocutions with prepositions, as well as in syntactic
  constructions with nexus (the object and the subject with the infinitive). In all cases
  syntactic functions of the infinitive are realised on the sentential level.
  The substantive-infinitival functions comprises the use of the infinitive in syntactic
  positions of the grammatical subject: as the theme (topic) as well as the rheme (comment)
  in the context of the formal subject det, the predicative (including the sentences
  of equivalence with the infinitive in both parts of the subject-predicate structure),
  a prepositional or prepositionless (direct and indirect) object, a postpositional noun
  attribute (with direct adjunction or with prepositional syntactic connection). Whatever
  the syntactic position of the substantive word, the analysis at the level of a full sentence
  reveals functional-grammatical features of the infinitive as a non-predicate verb form.
  Unlike the parts of sentence expressed by nominal parts of speech, the infinitive with
  a preposition and without a preposition, depending on the type of syntactic connection,
  which is determined by the valency either of the governing verb or of the substantive
  word modified by it, is drawn into the verb chain, demonstrating at the same time
  the features of the morphology and syntax of the verbum infinitum.
  The special functional-grammatical features of the Swedish infinitive are determined
  by the typological features of the grammatical system of the language in the
  verb paradigm (the expression of grammatical semantics with agglutinative markers
  and analytical forms and constructions) as well as in verb syntagmas (the expression of
  syntactic connection between words by use of adjunction or prepositional connection).
