Abstract:
In middle-class Anglo-speaking circles imperatives are considered impolite
forms that command another to do something; etiquette manuals recommend
avoiding them. The papers in this collection de-construct such lay beliefs.
Through the empirical examination of everyday and institutional interaction
across a range of languages, they show that imperatives are routinely used for
constructing turns that further sociality in interactional situations.
Moreover, they show that for understanding the use of an imperatively
formatted turn, its specific design (whether it contains, e.g., an overt
subject, object, modal particles, or diminutives), and its sequential and
temporal positioning in verbal and embodied activities are crucial. The fact
that the same type of imperative turn is appropriate under the same
circumstances across linguistically diverse cultures suggests that there are
common aspects of imperative turn design and common pragmatic dimensions of
situations warranting their use. The volume provides new insights into the
resources and processes involved when social actors try to get another to do
something.
