Amsterdam/Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing97890272008919789027263964http://hdl.handle.net/10451/36610Subject obviation refers to the impossibility of the subject of an embedded clause to be co-referent with the main clause’s subject. This is verified in complementation structures of some predicates that select the subjunctive, but not in those of other predicates. A semantic explanation is proposed, based on Giannakidou’s concept of veridicality, for why only some of the predicates that select the subjunctive mood trigger obviation.engbook parthttps://doi.org/10.1075/ihll.17
