Cet ouvrage se propose d'étudier la subordonnée interrogative en anglais d'un point de vue syntaxique et sémantique en l'opposant aux autres subordonnées introduites par des mots en wh- (relative libre, exclamative, circonstancielle). Quelles sont les caractéristiques propres de la subordonnée interrogative ? Quel est son sémantisme ? Dans quels contextes apparaît-elle ? Comment la différencier des autres structures proches en surface et quelles sont les caractéristiques de ces autres structures ? Ce sont tes questions majeures, mais cet ouvrage aborde bien d'autres problèmes : quelle définition donner à la subordination ? Comment définir l'ambiguïté et traiter les cas limites ? Quel rapport entre interrogatives et propositions en that ? Entre exclamatives et factivité ? Comment analyser des exemples comme Tell me the time ou Tell me if it's too expensive ? Et surtout que dire de I know who came ?... Autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage tente de répondre.

This study is concerned with the categorial status of subordinating conjunctions and the internal and external structure of subordinate clauses. Starting out from the categorizations of subordinating conjunctions that prevail in recent generative linguistic theory, namely complementizers and prepositions, and from the division of syntactic categories into lexical and functional ones, the author investigates the lexical and grammatical properties of subordinating conjunctions which are held to account for both the distribution and the architecture of subordinate clauses. Central to this study is the relation between the category subordinating conjunction, the licensing of its projection and the licensing of its complement and specifier position. Part I is concerned with subordination in early Generative Grammar, the rise of the category C and the categorization of subordinating conjunctions. Part II focuses on recent conceptions of phrase structure, the inventory of syntactic categories, the lexical-functional dichotomy and syntactic movement. Part III is concerned with the lexical properties of complementizers (C), prepositions (P), and a third category of subordinating conjunctions (Subcon) which conflates properties of Cs and Ps. This categorization of subordinating conjunctions is arrived at on the basis of the distribution of the phrases they head and the mechanisms by which these elements license their complement and specifier. Cs, as typical functional heads, license both theirs complement and their specifier on the basis of feature checking mechanisms; Ps, as typical lexical heads, license these positions by theta-marking them. Within SubconP the complement is licensed by feature checking as within CP, and the specifier is licensed by theta-marking as within PP.

This book connects two linguistic phenomena, modality and subordinators, so that both are seen in a new light, each adding to the understanding of the other. It argues that general subordinators (or complementizers) denote propositional modality (otherwise expressed by moods such as the indicative-subjunctive and epistemic-evidential modal markers). The book explores the hypothesis both on a cross-linguistic and on a language-branch specific level (the Germanic languages). One obvious connection between the indicative-subjunctive distinction and subordinators is that the former is typically manifested in subordinate clauses. Furthermore, both the indicative-subjunctive and subordinators determine clause types. More importantly, however, it is shown, through data from various languages, that subordinators themselves often denote the indicative-subjunctive distinction. In the Germanic languages, there is variation in many clause types between both the indicative and the subjunctive and that and if depending on the speaker's and/or the subject's certainty of the truth of the proposition.
