It awaits you to

[raymondaliasapollyon]

Because of what we've been discussing—that in a. there's an infinitival clause. Sentence b. is comparably simpler. The PP is merely an adjunct.



Obviously, they use different verbs, and so the patterns used are different. I think what we're discussing is whether await somebody to do something is a permissible pattern, not whether any verb + pronominal + to-infinitive is permissible. Sentence c. is fine.

What I find unusual is, if a verb can be used with a dummy and a non-dummy subject, typically its subcategorization frame is supposed to be identical. "Await" presents an irregularity. Are there any verbs like it?

We haven't seen a great deal of evidence that 'await' can be used with a dummy subject.
