Імператив як засіб реалізації теперішності в сучасній англійській мові

Abstract

The paper represents an attempt to investigate the operation mechanism of the verb in the Imperative Moodfor the realization of the Present time. We consider that the Imperative Mood is coordinated with the time orientation category, as its time semantics does not indicate time, but only orients at it Time orientation of the Imperative Mood Junctioning is not identical. The present-future and the present orientations are the most productive ones, approximately the same number of examples are found to illustrate it.
