    This paper puts forward an analysis of subjunctive dependent clauses in Iberian Romance based on Hornstein and Uriagereka’s (2002) treatment of binary quantifiers. The main idea is that Chomsky’s (2004) Transfer operation can be associated to the effect of these quantifiers; more specifically, it is argued that indicative mood, contrary to subjunctive mood, operates as a binary quantifier, thus triggering the application of Transfer.

    Aquest treball proposa una anàlisi de les oracions subordinades en subjuntiu de les llengües romàniques ibèriques basat en la proposta de Hornstein i Uriagereka (2002) sobre els quantificadors binaris. La idea central és que la operació de Transferència de Chomsky (2004) es pot associar a l’efecte provocat per aquests elements; més concretament, es defensa la idea que el mode indicatiu, a diferència del subjuntiu, funciona com un quantificador binari i determina l’aplicació de Transferència.
