This paper examines the use of subjunctive in Modern Greek relative clauses. The whole discussion is divided into two parts. In the first part, the environments in which relative clauses with subjunctive normally occur are identified, and it is argued that their semantic characteristics are compatible with the intensionality of that mood. In the second part, three different topics are discussed, revealing some interesting characteristics of relative clauses with subjunctive: (a) the relation between the contrast specific/non-specific and Donnellan's well known distinction referential/attributive, (b) the interdependence between the semantic characteristics of a quantifier and the (specific - referential / non specific-attributive) reading of the NP it introduces, and, finally, (c) the relationship between reduced and full relative clauses.
