THEORETICAL DELIMITATIONS IN THE SYNTAX OF THE IMPERATIVE

Summary/Abstract: Theoretical Delimitations in the Syntax of the Imperative. This present article follows a few theoretical delimitations about the syntax of the imperative based on some theses about the imperative. Firstly, the imperative mood is presented from the traditional grammatical point of view, starting from the GALR, followed by some explanations about the meaning of the imperative enunciation and ersatz imperative. Then, follows a generational approach through a succinct presentation of some theories, which offer new perspectives on imperative, arising a series of questions for which valid answers are still under investigations, for instance, the subject of imperative, the negative imperative, embedded imperatives. We will see if any of these theories apply to the Romanian language, too.
