Optative constructions express desire without an overt lexical item that means 'desire'. The author specifically investigates optatives with the syntax of embedded clauses that contain prototypical particles such as 'only'. He rejects the view that optativity arises compositionally from the standard semantics of embedded clauses and prototypical particles. The following system is proposed: Desirability is due to a generalized scalar exclamation operator EX. Furthermore, clausal properties such as factivity/counterfactuality a 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 193. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xMood 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSubordinate constructions 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSubjunctive 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Comparative 606 $aGerman language$xGrammar, Comparative 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xMood. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSubordinate constructions. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSubjunctive. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Comparative. 615 0$aGerman language$xGrammar, Comparative. 676 $a415/.6 700 $aGrosz$b Patrick Georg$01521498 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791908103321 996 $aOn the grammar of optative constructions$93760738 997 $aUNINA
