We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear all,

Does anybody know about any papers about the linguistic properties of 
threats?

They can be expressed syntactically in different ways (conditional, 
imperative,...) but I would like to have some details on their semantics and 
further characteristics.

Thanks.
