Daniela Isac argues that the specificity of imperative clauses cannot be the result of a unique imperative \u003cem\u003eForce\u003c\/em\u003e feature; instead, the  type' of imperative clauses can be traced back to a plurality of finer grained features, such as Modality and phi-features, hosted by the Mod, Infl, and Speech Event heads, among others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe data are drawn from a wide range of languages including various Romance, Slavic, and Germanic languages, as well as Finnish and Inuktitut. The analysis accounts for recurrent patterns in the interaction of imperative mood with phenomena like negation, restrictions on grammatical subjects, and the possibility of embedding imperative clauses. The approach, which focuses exclusively on morphosyntactic rather than semantic features, is potentially transferable to the analysis of other clause types, such as exclamatives, interrogatives, and declaratives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniela Isac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198733275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198733270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Daniela Isac","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424981631231,"sku":"9780198733270","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcecb5de-34d9-42c0-ab6f-9d4d61b84820.jpg?v=1761536182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-morphosyntax-of-imperatives-daniela-isac-9780198733270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
