Abstract:
This book is an introduction to the relationship between the morphosyntactic
properties of sentences and their associated illocutionary forces or force
potentials. The volume begins with several chapters dedicated to important
theoretical and methodological issues, such as sentence and utterance meaning,
illocutionary force, clause types, and cross-linguistic comparison. The bulk
of the book is then composed of chapter-length case studies that
systematically investigate typologically prominent clause types and their
forces, such as declaratives and assertions, interrogatives and questions, and
imperatives and commands. These case studies begin with an overview of the
necessary theoretical foundations, followed by a discussion of the grammatical
structures of English, and an assessment of the relevant cross-linguistic
facts. Each chapter ends with a succinct summary of the most important
findings, practice exercises, and recommendations for further reading and
research. Overall, the book works towards developing a gradient model of
clause types that goes substantially beyond the traditional distinction
between major and minor clause types. It draws on insights from linguistics,
philosophy, and sociology, and may be used as a textbook for undergraduate or
graduate courses in semantics, pragmatics, and morphosyntax.
