Morphosyntax of Imperatives - Isac, Daniela (Associate Professor of Linguistics, Associate Professor of Linguistics, Concordia University)

This book 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.
