Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to discuss control and raising in the Balkan languages, which lack infinitives and make use of mood distinctions instead. The ±finite distinction is crucially involved in most analyses of these phenomena since subjunctive clauses can be characterized as +finite. The question then is whether the empty subject in control subjunctive complements is PRO or pro and whether raising is possible out of the relevant complements. In order to provide an analysis of these issues, I will first consider the notion of finiteness as such, and in particular how it interacts with mood. It will be argued that finiteness is not a property solely associated with Tor Agr but is a property of the C system that interacts with the inflectional domain and the properties of the selecting predicate in complement clauses.
