Summary/Abstract: The target of this work is an analysis of Spanish linguistic constructions, the so-called "nominalized infinitives" that are popular in the Spanish language. Results of the analysis of the role of the "nominalized infinitives" appeared interesting and revealed that hovever the nature of the "nominalized infinitives" is purely aspectual, their role in the language system, or better, the reason of their existence is rather of the communicative then semantic nature.
