    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.
