Starting from a close scrutiny of the environments in which subjunctive mood occurs and of its semantic contribution, we present a feature-based approach which reveals the common properties of the class of verbs which embed subjunctive, and which takes into account the variation in subjunctive-related complementizers. Two main proposals can be highlighted: (i) the lexical semantics of the main clause predicate plays a crucial role in mood selection. More specifically subjunctive mood is regulated by a specific property of the main predicate, the emotive property, which is associated with the external argument of the embedding verb (usually the Subject). The book proposes a nanosyntactic analysis of the internal structure of embedding verbs. (ii) Cross- and intra-linguistic variations are dealt with according to different patterns of lexicalization, i.e., variations depend on what portions of the verb?s and complementizer?s functional sequence is lexicalized and on how it is packaged by languages. In doing so, this approach provides a uniform account of the phenomenon of embedded subjunctives. The monograph takes a novel, feature-based approach to the question of subjunctive licensing, providing a detailed analysis of the features of the matrix verb, of the complementizer and of the embedded subjunctive clause. It is also based on a wide empirical coverage, ranging from the relatively well-studied groups of Romance and Balkan languages to less explored languages from non-Indo-European families (Hungarian). 410 0$aStudies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory,$x2215-0358 ;$v101 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aSyntax 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aPhilosophy of Language 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aSyntax. 615 24$aLinguistics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Language. 676 $a415 676 $a415 700 $aBaunaz$b Lena$01251687 702 $aPuska?s$b Genoveva 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910584484503321 996 $aA cross-linguistic approach to the syntax of subjunctive mood$92997177 997 $aUNINA
