Preposicion + sujeto + infinitivo: "Para yo hacerlo" (Preposition + subject + infinitive: "To do it").

De Mello, George

Hispania, v78 n4 p825-36 Dec 1995

Investigates the use of preposition and subject with the infinitive, a construction not usually mentioned in Spanish grammar books. This construction is as commonplace in some regions as it is unacceptable in others, a situation giving rise to controversy. Some linguists believe that this construction is more prevalent among less-educated people. (45 references) (CK)
