Publisher's Note
In this important work of linguistic analysis, Paul M. Postal addresses a paradigm anomaly in French that has hitherto resisted explanation. A general restriction limiting the form of direct objects in complex infinitival constructions with main verbs like faire fails to hold with certain subordinate verbs, especially connaitre. Marshaling extensive evidence, Postal argues that this apparent irregularity is a symptom of a deeper regularity.
