Dear corpus linguists
I am a graduate student majoring linguistics in Japan. Right now I am
studying
the categorization of the meanings of imperatives such as command, demand,
suggestion, advice, wish etc. I don't know how to pick up only imperative
sentences from the corpora. Both of BNC and Bank of English are available
now. If someone knows the methodology of categorization of the imperatives
in a sociolinguistic or cognitive linguistic way, please let me know about
it.
