(49) What is the relative order of the Vs in a construction with a main V selecting a non-finite clause? (Restructuring vs. non-restructuring Vs)
Alternatives to be checked: V1-(Y) V2 / V2-(Y) V1
If the language shows no alternation of V placement between main and embedded clause, please only work with main clause constructions as in (49.a.ii.). Otherwise, apply the test with the embedded version, as in (49.a.i). This applies to all examples in (49).
f) to seem
I think that Mary seems to read the book.

Ich glaube, [dass Mary das Rennen versucht zu gewinnen].
I believe that Mary the race tries to win
'I believe that Mary tries to win the race.'
