3 On the other hand, others have pointed out that preverbal
subjects are at least par- tially distinct from other topicalised
constituents in displaying residual properties characteristic of
items in an A-position (Horrocks 1994). Although there is a general
consensus that inverted orders as in (lb-c) arise when the verb
occupies a slot higher than the structural position hosting the
subject, in the light of an articulated INFL projection (see
below), there is no agreement concerning the nature of the head
hosting the verb, the nature of the projection host- ing the
subject and whether or not an expletive is required. Greek has no
infinitives. All its moods (indicative, subjunctive, imperative)
are expressed by fmite forms throughout; specifically, the
'subjunctive' mood consists of the particle na plus fully inflected
forms of the verb, being the common translational equivalent of the
English infmitive. A number of researchers have analysed na as a
subjunctive marker (Philippaki-Warburton & Veloudis 1984, Terzi
1992, Rivero 1994 among others), while others have argued that it
behaves like a complementizer (Agouraki 1991, Tsoulas 1993). We
will return to the properties of na-clauses later on. (3) a. thelo

form, the so-called gerund or active participle.
