Gunlogson supports that claim through an investigation of the use of declaratives 410 0$aOutstanding dissertations in linguistics. 606 $aEnglish language$xImperative 606 $aEnglish language$xInterrogative 606 $aEnglish language$xIntonation 606 $aEnglish language$xSentences 615 0$aEnglish language$xImperative. 615 0$aEnglish language$xInterrogative. 615 0$aEnglish language$xIntonation. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSentences. 676 $a421/.6 700 $aGunlogson$b Christine$01641497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825376903321 996 $aTrue to form$93985666 997 $aUNINA
