The languages of the world differ with respect as to whether they allow for wh-infinitives and infinitival relative clauses.

In this talk, I postulate the "Wh-Infinitive-Generalization" that links the (non-) availability of wh-infinitives and infinitival relatives to morphological properties of the infinitival C-system.
