Abstract:

Imperatives and directive strategies have intrigued both formalists and
functionalists. They continue to search for the answers to questions like
“what are the semantics of the imperative?”, “how is it used (in the world’s
languages)?” and “which factors determine the choice between imperatives and
other directive strategies?”. This volume takes a broadly
functional-typological perspective and contributes to the literature in
several respects. It presents new data from a variety of languages, some of
which have not been studied in depth before. It exemplifies the benefits of
traditional methodologies as well as the potential of more innovative ones. In
addition, the volume sheds new light on the imperative as a typological
notion, its meaning and uses and its interaction with other grammatical
categories. It also offers new insights into the relation between different
directive strategies within and across languages and into the
(dis)similarities between equivalent directive strategies in a language
family.
