Redistribution of the Functional-Syntactic Space of the Subjunctive Mood in French

The present research focuses on some cases of subjunctive mood use leading to changes in its functional-syntactic space. The purpose of the study is to describe and analyze the most typical cases related to the process under discussion, as well as to clarify the reasons leading to its manifestation. A peripheral diffusion in the functional-syntactic space of the subjunctive mood is established, allowing in some cases its use reduction, and in others its expansion in the direction of the indicative mood.
