Adversatives and Concessives: Argumentation and Intersubjectivity
The paper discusses the interpretation of adversative clauses introduced by pero and concessive clauses introduced by aunque in Spanish. Specifically, the discussion centers around structures that exhibit the forms: (i) A, pero B , (ii) A, aunque B-INDICATIVE , and (iii) A, aunque B-SUBJUNCTIVE . In these types of constructions, A and B reflect contrasting cognitive realities or subjectivities. The paper examines the different prominence given to…
Settledness, Polarity and Mood in Spanish Complements
The paper discusses the effects of mood on the availability of an existential interpretation of negative words such as nadie "nobody" in the complement of emotive factive predicates in Spanish. In these contexts, the subjunctive mood allows nadie to be interpreted as a non-negated existential quantified expression, ∃x, equivalent to alguien. On the other hand, the indicative mood allows only for a negative universal interpretation of the expressi…
A Cognitive Account of Mood in Complements of Causative Predicates in Spanish
Complements of causative predicates such as hacer in Spanish present a problem for analyses of mood that are based on semantic or pragmatic notions of assertion. The problem results from the fact that information expressed by these complements is presented both as true and new, and yet the complement verb appears in the subjunctive mood. This makes these clauses a counterexample to analyses that claim that asserted propositions appear in the indi…

Pragmatic Presupposition and Old Information in the Use of the Subjunctive Mood in Spanish
Independent evidence favors pragmatic characterizations of the distribution of mood in complement clauses in Spanish. Examination of the behavior of different types of complements in two different grammati- cal constructions supports the argument that the differences in behavior are the result of the different prag- matic status of the complement. Empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that complements which repre- sent old information appear…
