The purpose of this paper is to review the two analyses on the for-to complementation, -Rosenbaum's and Kiparsky and Kiparsky's-and to make some comments on them. Much emphasis will be put especially on the relation between the occurrence of for-to complementation and the semantic factor proposed by Kiparsky and Kiparsky, that is, the presupposition of factivity and non-factivity. The conclusion will be to the effect that the parallelism between the occurrence of 'for-to' and the non-factivity is not necessarily appropriate and that in some cases the presupposition seems to come from the complement construction, not from the verb. Such semantic factors as factivity, emotivity, and so on may complicate the semantic subclassification but have no syntactic relation with the occurrence of 'for-to' form. Therefore, Rosenbaum's analysis, although rather semantically colorless, seems to be still valid.
