Abstract

The article represents the research of peculiarities of the structural, semantic and pragmatic pecculiarities of indirect imperative utterences of the modern English language on the example of Madeleine Wickham's novels. The grammar structures and lexical elements that contribute to imperative meaning formation of indirect utterances have been specified and listed. It has been defined that the imperative meaning of indirect imperative acts can be expressed in the special linguistic form and with the help of the pragmatic factors of creation of their meaning. It has been proved that the context reflecting the features of a communicative situation facilitates to the undestanding of the imperative meaning of an indirect speech act. It is the comprehension of the situation that let us recognize the motivational potential of an utterance and therefore its illocutionary force.
