Produktinformationen zu „The Indicative and Subjunctive da-complements in Serbian: A Syntactic-Semantic Approach “
Subjunctive and indicative interpretations in Serbian are dependent on semantic properties of the matrix verb, the aspect and tense of the embedded verb, and the selection of homophonous da: the indicative or subjunctive da. The choice of mood affects clitic placement, negation interpretation, and licensing of negative polarity items.
Klappentext zu „The Indicative and Subjunctive da-complements in Serbian: A Syntactic-Semantic Approach “
This study analyzes the indicative and subjunctive da-complements in the Serbian language while comparing and contrasting them with similar finite constructions in other Slavic and Balkan languages. In complex structures, semantic properties of the matrix verb, homophonous da, and aspectual and tense properties of the embedded verb all contribute to interpretations of the morphologically unmarked subjunctive and indicative moods in the Serbian language. Merging Giannakidou's theory of mood and veridicality with Progovac's clausal structure, the author suggests that the choice of the indicative or subjunctive complement determines negation interpretation and implies that clitics in Serbian are not always restricted to the second position.
