Abstract

The main object of Camille Denizot (hereafter D.) is to study the different linguistic forms used to give orders in Greek. The book is divided into three main parts plus an introduction, several indexes—index locorum, word indexes, index of modern authors cited and an index of classical editions—and a couple of annexes, one of them with percentages of use and the other with a list of the infinitives, all of which are very useful. They are followed by a bibliography. The introduction sets out the methodological patterns of the study. D. makes clear her pragmatic approach and her indebtedness to the work of Risselada (Risselada, R. 1993. Imperatives and Other Directive Expressions in Latin (Amsterdam)). D.’s structure of directives is based on the parameters proposed by Risselada, plus the parameter of the addressee’s will. In these D. differentiates between proper orders or injunctions, instructions, advice, proposals, suggestions, supplications and requests (p. 24). D. states (pp. 44-5) that her investigation is focused not on sentence types but on verbal moods, although the other devices indicating illocutionary forces are considered in the first chapter.
