It proposes a new way of explaining the meaning and function of the imperative independently of illocutionary act classifications, which allows for quantifying the strength of imperative force in terms of parameters and numerical values. Furthermore, the book applies the theory of Construction Grammar to account for the felicity of imperatives in complex sentences. The model of description explains explicitly a wide range of phenomena, including frequency of use, prototypeHuman cognitive processing ;v. 35.English languageImperativeEnglish languageSyntaxEnglish languageGrammar, ComparativeJapaneseJapanese languageGrammar, ComparativeEnglishEnglish languageImperative.English languageSyntax.English languageGrammar, ComparativeJapanese.Japanese languageGrammar, ComparativeEnglish.425/.6Takahashi Hidemitsu1665127MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813981803321A cognitive linguistic analysis of the English imperative4023580UNINA
