Spanish Mood-Choice Verb Entries [Gra24] #

Minimal verb entries for Spanish attitude and causative predicates relevant to cross-linguistic mood choice ([Gra24], Table 1).

Spanish robustly rejects indicative under 'want', 'hope', 'intend', and 'make' — all four take subjunctive or nonfinite complements.

            querer.levinClass = some Semantics.Lexical.LevinClass.want
            source
            theorem Spanish.MoodChoice.esperar_not_want_class :
            esperar.levinClass ≠ some Semantics.Lexical.LevinClass.want

            theorem Spanish.MoodChoice.tener_la_intencion_is_want_class :

            theorem Spanish.MoodChoice.spanish_mood_asymmetry :
            querer.levinClass = some Semantics.Lexical.LevinClass.want ∧ tener_la_intencion.levinClass = some Semantics.Lexical.LevinClass.want ∧ esperar.levinClass ≠ some Semantics.Lexical.LevinClass.want

            Spanish mood asymmetry: querer and tener la intención share want-class; esperar does not. Unlike Portuguese/French/Italian, Spanish 'hope' ALSO robustly rejects IND (Table 1), so the asymmetry is structural, not empirically visible in mood choice.
