- Title
The Status of Romanian ia in Imperative Clauses.
- Authors
Hill, Virginia
- Abstract
The article discusses the morphosyntax of "ia," a Romanian imperative, and focuses on the left periphery of imperative clauses. The author investigates the possibility of the interjection serving as a mood marker. She also examines imperative clauses' verb movement, illocutionary force, pragmatic markers, and core syntactic hierarchy. Uses of "ia" before vocative nouns are also discussed. The author presents her discussion within a generative grammar framework and discusses the theoretical implications of her findings.
