Predicates communicating advice, obligation, request (e.g. simvulevo
‘advise’, ipohreono ‘require’, zitao ‘request’, diatazo ‘order’, hence
ADVISE-Ps) are typically classified as subjunctive selecting in
Greek(Giannakidou, 1998, 2015) and in Romance (Farkas, 1992; Giorgi and
Pianesi, 1997; Villalta, 2008; Quer, 2009). In this work, we show that
ADVISE-Ps can also combine with indicative embedding a prioritizing
(hence, PRT) modal operator. We take these data to posit a challenge for
selectional approaches to mood pointing towards analyzing mood as a
modal operator.
