The Subjunctive and Modality.
Wasa, Atsuko
Hispania, v82 n1 p121-27 Mar 1999
Analysis of the indicative-subjunctive alternation in the compliment of interrogative utterances with the verb "creer" shows that the "modality of reserved epistemic" determines choice of subjunctive. This determination contributes to a hypothesis about the nature of the subjunctive in Spanish. (CP)
