It might help if you saw the phrase in (1) as a bare infinitive. Sometimes we let the semantics of an item drive the terminology of the syntax and morphology. I can't help with your literature search.

Anyone have a good resource that would provide both a name and a description of the extent of distribution of what I am loosely calling a 'reduced participial phrase' as seen in (1) below as contrasted with a more customary participial phrase in (2).
1) See spot run.
2) See spot running.
