The aim of this study is to examine the usage patterns of the non-finite complement clauses of four aspectualizers(or aspectualizing verbs), such as begin, start, continue, and cease. The data is from the British National Corpus Web(BNCweb). The study is concerned with the verbs of the pairs of the non-finite complement clauses and investigates the semantic properties of the verbs. The results are follows; firstly, the aspectualizers, begin, continue, and cease co-occur absolutely with to-infinitive, whereas the aspectualize start co-occur a little more with gerund as their complements than with to-infinitive. Secondly, the verbs taking the infinitival complements mostly tend to represent stativity shown in verbs such as change of state, cognitive and emotion verbs. As well, they are cognitive verbs and emotion verbs. On the contrary, the verbs taking the gerundive complements are action verbs, especially representing the movement of entity and creating new entities. This study is hoping to shed new light on the semantics of the infinitival and gerundive complements and thereby contributes to the semantically motivated nature of the distribution of the complements.
