[Lingtyp] Reportatives in imperative sentences

[Alexandra Aikhenvald]

Dear Martine
 
Furthermore to my message yesterday: you will find a comprehensive study of imperatives and information source in section 4.2.2 of my Imperatives and commands, OUP, pb. 2012.
 
We will have an International Workshop, 'Commands', at LCRC at JCU, between 28 September and 3 October, where many presentations will deal with evidentiality (and other categories) in commands. The position paper and the checklist for participants are at https://researchatjcu/research/lcrc. You are very welcome to attend. (The program can be found on that site within our Newsbulletin).
 
Best wishes
 
Sasha

Subject: [Lingtyp] Reportatives in interrogative and imperative sentences

Dear all,I am interested in the use of reportatives in different sentence types in different languages. I would like to know whether a reportative can be used in interrogative and imperative sentences. If it can be used in interrogatives, what does this mean? Can one use the reportative in sentences in order to report someone else's question, does it mean that you are asking about what has been said or does it have any other effect? Would would the use of the reportative with imperatives mean? Any examples and references will be highly appreciated!Best,Martine Bruil
