to- infinitive as object complement

In comments John Lawler wrote:

"v+o" is not a structure; I have no idea what you mean, unless you're just saying that these infinitive clauses are object complements of the verbs permit, forbid, and order, in which case you're correct. Infinitive clauses can be transitive or intransitive. The transitive ones (like the clauses with use, enter, play) have a direct object. It's a matter of one transitive clause having another transitive clause as its object. Not difficult, and very very common. Unless this isn't what you mean, either.

Well, yes, there certainly was a misunderstanding. In fact, the grammar does see these infinitive clauses as direct objects of those verbs (all social contract communication verbs, btw). It never occurred to me that you might not think so. This is what happens when bad grammar is used to teach good students; they get confused. The real question is whether him (which is clearly the subject of each infinitive) is also the indirect object of the main verbs, and if so, whether it represents a separate act of communication (Equi) or originated as subject only (Raising).

If you're game for more on Equi and Raising, here it is.
