Imperatives, V-Movement, and Logical Mood.
Rivero, Maria Luisa; Terzi, Arhonto
Journal of Linguistics, v31 n2 p301-32 Sep 1995
This paper examines the syntax of imperative sentences in languages in which imperative verbs have distinctive morphology. Imperative verbs with distinctive morphology either have a distinctive syntax (Modern Greek, Spanish) or distribute like other verbs (Serbo-Croatian, Ancient Greek). The contrast follows from properties of the root complementizer. Contains 55 references. (MDM)
