Abstract:
This book focuses on the form and the function of commands--directive speech acts such as pleas, entreaties, and orders--from a typological perspective. A team of internationally-renowned experts in the field examine the interrelationship of these speech acts with cultural stereotypes and practices, as well as their origins and development, especially in the light of language contact
Note:
Revised versions of fourteen presentations from the the International Workshop 'Commands', held at the Language and Culture Research Centre, James Cook University, 28 September - 3 October 2015
