Sommario/riassunto

This volume studies the properties of imperative clauses in the context of a theory of universal grammar. The analysis, based on data from a wide range of languages, accounts for patterns in the interaction of imperative mood with phenomena like negation, restrictions on grammatical subjects, and the possibility of embedding imperative clauses.
