Certain verbs in English can be followed by both "ing" and by a "to"+ infinitive, with a difference in meaning. The "ing" ending is used for events or states already in existence at the time of the preceding verb. The infinitive points ahead to a later time. Examples are given. (PJM)

Haegeman, Liliane – English Language Teaching Journal, 1980
The construction "won't" is ambiguous: it can be a prediction by the speaker based on his assumptions, or it may be a report of what the expressed subject of "won't" said. "I talked to them and they won't come" could mean "I predict they won't come" or "they refused to come." (PJM)

Studies, using Mandarin Chinese as a test case: (1) the interaction of syntax and semantics when quantifiers and negatives co-occur; (2) the linear interpretation of quantifiers when the universal and existential quantifiers co-occur; (3) the logical relationship between them; and (4) the basic word order of existential sentences involving…

Li, Cheng-ching – Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, 1980
Explores the role of negative marking in the mapping of the semantic and syntactic structures of Taiwanese modals on to their surface structure in terms of syntactic transformations. Particular attention is paid to the process of lexical fusion as it occurs in such negative forms as "be" and "m." (Author/PJM)

Ashcraft, Catherine – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 2004
