Relative clauses present a challenge for theories of mood semantics, which have largely been designed to account for subjunctive\/indicative selection in the complements of attitude verbs (Farkas 1985; Giorgi and Pianesi 1997; Giannakidou 1997; Quer 1998, 2021; Villalta 2006; Portner 2018). In relative-clause objects of extensional verbs there is no obvious source for the modality. We propose that a unified analysis is nevertheless possible, putting together two lines of research: the analysis of mood as a modal operator (Kratzer 2016; Mari and Portner to appear; Portner and Rubinstein 2020) and the analysis of modal indefinites as projecting modal domains from volitional events (Alonso-Ovalle and Men\u00e9ndez-Benito 2017). Our investigation leads us to new observations about the licensing of subjunctive mood in Spanish relative clauses and to a better understanding of what may broadly be called goal-oriented modality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Aynat Rubinstein (HUJI)Title: Mood in relative clauses: on goal-orientation and choiceTime: Wednesday, March 16th, 1pm - 2pmAbstract: This talk presents recent work by Luis Alonso-Ovalle, Paula Men\u00e9ndez-Benito, and myself, about the distribution and interpretation of mood in relative clauses in Spanish.
