The cartography analysis in syntax has dealt with wide range of syntactic phenomena. The functional categories in the left peripheral area of the cartography have their own discourse function. Based on the cartography analysis, this paper shows the possibility of occurrence of MoodP above FinP in the left periphery of clauses. MoodP bears the function of speaker’s mood of utterance concerning uncertainty. The uncertainty appears as a null category in the head position of MoodP. This category always occurs in interrogative sentences and licenses negative polarity items in those sentences by binding them. Conditional clauses also bear this null category in MoodP because they imply uncertainty concerning the truth value of thier propostion. The null category, bearing uncertainty, can license negative polarity items in the conditional clauses as well. This null category hypothesis can be applied to other syntactic phenomena which are closely related to licensing negative polarity items.
