Résumé
When it comes to embedded mood selection, Romance and Balkan languages differ on two main points: (i) emotive factive (‘regret’-type) contexts lead to subjunctive in Romance but not in Balkan, and (ii) mood is morphologically realized as verbal inflection in Romance but on complementizers in Balkan. In this paper, we provide a nanosyntactic account of the major points of crosslinguistic variation regarding mood selection in these two language types. We propose that the two types share the same basic syntax, but that syntactic structures are realized differently depending on language-specific idiosyncrasies of the lexicon, i.e. what kinds of lexical entries are available in French vs. Balkan.
