Abstract
My concern in this paper is the syntax and semantics of purpose-clauses in English. The relation of this problem to the question of the nature of syntactic representation is that the topics I will discuss raise interesting questions about what one might not want to include as explicit parts of either a syntactic or a semantic representation.
