Subjunctive complements in Serbian/Croatian (SC) exhibit unusual distributional patterns because the range of predicates that select them is much wider than in most other languages. The result of this is a great semantic diversity of subjunctives in SC. I explain this diversity by demonstrating that different complements of this type exhibit significant differences in their structural make-up upon reaching the syntax-semantics interface, which produces different semantic inputs. The analysis I propose allows me to put all subjunctive complements in SC on a common semantic mood scale.

Abstract
Subjunctive complements in Serbian/Croatian (SC) exhibit unusual distributional patterns because the range of predicates that select them is much wider than in most other languages. The result of this is a great semantic diversity of subjunctives in SC. I explain this diversity by demonstrating that different complements of this type exhibit significant differences in their structural make-up upon reaching the syntax-semantics interface, which produces different semantic inputs. The analysis I propose allows me to put all subjunctive complements in SC on a common semantic mood scale.File in questo prodotto:
