Although clausal complementation has been a central concern in syntactic research for the last fifty years, it is difficult to identify specific studies on the topic; often the data are already found in traditional grammars and discussed by many authors. Of course, it is possible to identify several (especially early) seminal studies, like Kiparsky & Kiparsky (1970), Bresnan (1972), and Grimshaw (1979), but much of what is found in this chapter has been developed over the years by various authors, and it is therefore easier to refer to specific studies in the course of our discussions. Nevertheless, we would like to highlight a number of studies that we have used.

We begin with some issues related to finite argument clauses. The discussion of factivity in Section 5.1.2 is based on Kiparsky & Kiparsky (1970), supplemented by insights from Barbiers (2000) and Broekhuis & Nye (2013). The discussion of reported speech/parenthetical clauses is heavily influenced by Corver (1994b), Corver & Thiersch (2003), and De Vries (2006b). The discussion of quotative and polar van-constructions has benefited greatly from Van Craenenbroeck (2002), Foolen et al. (2006), and Hoeksema (2006). The discussion of fragment clauses is indebted to the seminal work of Merchant (2001/2004/2006); cf. also Corver and Coppen (2019), Hall (2019), Vincente (2019) for more recent discussions and references. For a discussion of the independent uses of argument clauses, we refer the reader to De Vries (2001), Verstraete et al. (2012), Tejedor (2013), and Van Linden & Van de Velde (2014).

A recurring theme concerning infinitival argument clauses in generative grammar has to do with the status of their subject; the distinction between control and subject raising is therefore one of the main issues in the first two subsections of Section 5.2. Control theory has been an enduring concern of generative grammar since Rosenbaum (1967). We refer the reader to Williams (1980), Manzini (1983), Koster (1984a/1984b), Van Riemsdijk & Williams (1986), Haegeman (1994), Jaworska (1999), Hornstein (2001) and Dubinsky & Davies (2005), Landau (2013), and Potsdam & Haddad (2017) for contributions to and reviews of the more theoretical discussion. Other important studies that also discuss the relevant Dutch data are Bennis & Hoekstra (1989a/1989c), Van Haaften (1991), Everaert (1991), Vanden Wyngaerd (1994), Broekhuis et al. (1995), and Petter (1994/1995/1998). Bennis & Hoekstra (1989a/1989c) also provided the starting point for the discussion of subject raising in Section 5.2.2.2.
