The imperative clause is one of three major sentence types that
have been found to be universal across the languages of the world.
Compared to declaratives and interrogatives, the imperative type
has received diverse analyses in the literature. This cutting-edge
study puts forward a new linguistic theory of imperatives, arguing
that categories of the speech act, specifically Speaker and
Addressee, are conceptually necessary for an adequate syntactic
account. The book offers compelling empirical and descriptive
evidence by surveying new typological data in critical assessment
of competing hypotheses towards an indexical syntax of human
language. An engaging read for students and researchers interested
in linguistics, philosophy and the syntax of language.
