Abstract

This paper introduces a recurrent claim in the literature, namely, that imperative mood universally cannot occur in dependent clauses (e.g. Sadock and Zwicky 1985, Palmer 1986, Platzack and Rosengren 1998, Han 1998). Another line of analyses argues however, that embedded imperative sentences exist in some languages. For example Rus (2005) proposes this about Slovenian on the basis of Sheppard and Golden (2002), Rögnvaldsson (1998) claims this about Old Scandinavian, Portner (2007) makes the same claim about Korean, and Crnič and Trinh (2009) about English. I claim in this work that embedded imperatives exist in Hungarian as well. The following properties support this claim (all distinguishing them from embedded subjunctives): (i) word order peculiarities, (ii) the possibility of leaving out the complementizer, (iii) using the infinitival construction. Furthermore I demonstrate that embedded imperatives also exist in Udmurt, another Finno-Ugric language. I propose an analysis of embedded imperatives and embedded subjunctives which can explain the word order peculiarities of both sentence types.
